Richard Wright

What the hell? I mean, seriously, what the hell?

Beautiful central performances, glorious cinematography, a breathtaking revenge story, a wonderful sense of awe and mystery…

And a twist, from out of nowhere in the final seconds, that cheapens everything that went before, making it all somehow less. It’s a Sixth Sense style twist, which rewrites the film you just watched, except here it doesn’t make you want to applaud. Here, it makes you want the last two hours back. It turns the revenger into a common murderer, the villain into a victim, and the viewer into a fool.

If you’ve seen the film, you’ll know the bit I mean, and I’d love to know what you thought. I felt wretchedly cheated. How about you?
