A Perfect Enemy

I was intrigued by the trailer and marked it in my watchlist. Lately so many movies have been turning out to be promising in trailers but a total dud when you are like just 20 minutes into it. This one turned out to be better than the trailer and actually made me sit tight and watch till the very last frame. It's not slow to call it a slow burn but the first 10 mins instil enough curiosity to want to watch further. And yes, the good element of what next continues to pay off every 10 mins as this girl who wouldn't stop talking frustrates the hell out of you as you root for the lead male character. Well, won't spoil anything for you. Just watch it with an open mind and that you are watching an awesomely high on quality a flick, that's all is what you should remember and it pays off awesomely! I loved it.

The movie is ok. Watchable.

The plot was ok. Kind of predictable but not poorly executed.

The problem for me was the ending. Why did all this happen in the first place, if it all amounted to nothing.

Another unrealistic movie with a good plot but with scenes in contradiction with others. I agree that it was very difficult to turn this story into a movie, and in that way, it is successful. But the "strange" or irrelevant scenes spoils the plot too soon. I didn't watch the trailer and I was like: "no impossible", "why then this happens?" "Don't tell me all that for that?" "Oh no!" And then a final disappointment as many people here... So I understand the harsh ratings and the good ratings. Hence 5.5 is fine average. I wanted to put 5 but I added 1 point because it made me dive in at some point and this is why I watch movies...

So, here we go again: if IMDB had an option to hide the current rating of a film, i would gladly check it and never see any rating again. This film deserves so much more.

It was good, suspenceful and well written. Ok, you may identify the "twist" early in the film, but... you don't expect the ending.

Kudos.

The movie makes you think and try to figure out what is going on the whole time. I reckon you can guess certain things ... way before the main character has figured them out for sure. But the main thing about this, the journey is the thing that will be interesting and worth going along with.

There are clues for certain things and I would say one of them is quite early on ... between the lines one might say, without giving away too much. There are other things that may be interesting to see a second time around, because the way they play out seem improbable.

All that said, I really liked the movie. I was taken a bit back by the accents and sometimes lack of emotion that was unable to create. Still there is much tension here and a lot of things to cheer or hate this for. Like towards the end being completely against what the main character does ... "going back" of sorts ... turns out it was the "right" thing to do ... well there are some puns for you.
