And saw here nothing at allSaw" the first, seems to capture its atmosphere. But only before the first appearance in the frame of the other participants of this film, who are outside this warehouse. It turns out that our heroes are not in such a hopeless situation.
About unpredictability and who is who I would argue. If you take purely acting roles of all the characters, you can safely predict who is good and who is bad. In order to really mislead viewers need excellent acting skills.
The main character - James Caviezel - is a typical good man. So you don't really believe his confusion from one side to the other. Barry Pepper liked it. Maybe he doesn’t look very convincing either, and that’s just my sympathy for this actor.
What spoils this film is that it’s not entirely confusing. Or rather, everything is confusing, but somehow not clear. These flashbacks of the main characters turned out to be ineffective. They do not lead the viewer into thinking, rethinking their assumptions, they simply clearly point to the truth. Moreover, every hero almost always tells the truth about his memories to others.
So towards the end, you're waiting for this to be over. And then, boom, the director gives us a pig in the form of a different ending, which no one could even imagine. Again, there is meaningless entanglement with an undisclosed meaning. Think as you wish.
In general, a serious thriller about “closed” people did not work. But you can kill time.
