- Story: The intro will solidly put you in. The psycho vibe will slowly immerse you. The intrigue will get you going. And finally, you'll probably have a nice smile to see the movie making a sharp turn and going in such a different direction.
- Setting: Very limited environment that gives a good sense of isolation.
- Style: Psychological.
- Pacing: This movie has one pace in the first part and a totally different one in the second.
- Ending: Great. It's just right. Almost perfect.
- Dialogs: Very well done. Realistic.
- Characters: Well thought out. Although you don't feel a lot of depth to them because of how little you get to know them, you know very well who each person his and how they play off each other.
- Acting: Solid. Absolutely no complaints there.
- Known actors: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Bradley Cooper.
- Visuals: Well done. Good details, especially in the bunker.
- Special Effects: Nice. Could have been better. However, we can easily understand that limitation since they were not the center piece.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179933/
- Entertainment value: Pretty solid, especially if you like the psycho vibe.
- Who is it for? Everybody should at least try this. It will be a hit with those who like psycho stuff, and don't mind the movie taking a pretty radical turn in style.
I've decided to simply go for a score without any review. Maybe I'll start again doing full reviews someday.
