“I admit I had very high expectations for this movie, simply because I love riddles and movies that stimulate oneu0026#39;s brain. Sadly, it was a huge disappointment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt the beginning, the movie seemed pretty promising and I rather enjoyed it till about the middle. Thatu0026#39;s when things started taking the turn for the worse. For all the logic that movie tries depict, it truly lacks that very same logic badly. There were so many absolutely illogical and dumb scenes I canu0026#39;t even begin to name them. What was a highly interesting scenario with great potential became just another one of these movies you are likely to forget pretty soon. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI enjoyed it while it lasted, with the exception of the ending (Iu0026#39;d rather they just deleted it all together), and the acting was pretty great, too. Over all, itu0026#39;s entertaining to a certain degree but donu0026#39;t expect anything mind-blowing. The movie doesnu0026#39;t live up to what it promises.”
