This film had a pretty good buildup, there's an intriguing story and great acting all around. I guess my one complaint is that the film spends an hour and fifty minutes building up to a logical conclusion, then surprises you with the overdone "twist" ending that felt more like an annoying surprise than a respectable one. I then had to revisit the entire film in memory and see if it was plausible and quite frankly, what it was building up to was more interesting and realistic. But other than that, I'd probably still recommend it, I'm probably just being overly picky regarding the end.
