Was Expecting A Better TWIST(Spoilers)


I'm a Big Fan of Leigh Whannell....

I've Liked to LOVE nearly everything He(and James Wan) have done....

going into this movie, I was Sold By the Trailer...just thought it looked Great, Then once I realized who wrote and directed, I got even more excited....One of My Favorite things Is Movies With Great Twist Endings or Twists, and Whannell and Wan has had some ALL TIMERS for me in the SAW Twist and Dead Silence Twist....

I eventually Heard this movie did have a Twist....So my expectations went sky high...

I just watched the film, absolutely LOVED it....very surprised by Logan in the lead role, He was fantastic, I thought The Film Looked incredible for having such a TINY Budget....I loved every second until the twist....

for me, the Twst just wasnt very good, due to The track record of Whannell and Wan when it comes to Twists, I guess my expectations were too high....the twist was IMO just a slightly above average Twist(maybe a 6 out of 10 Twist, As where SAW was a 10/10 Twist)

Basically Twist wasnt original, It was a mix of "Eagle Eye" and "Memento"....

Super Intelligent computer orchestrates a master plan(Eagle Eye)....Lead character looking for revenge for murdered wife, in the end the person "Helping Him" Is the bad guy/responsible(Moment)

great Movie though....Whannell could end up being a great director

anyone feel letdown by the Twist because you were expecting An Epic Twist from Whannell?

Wasn't expecting a twist, but it was alright. I like 'bad' endings more then good endings.

the twist is fine, I was expecting a better reason for them to kill his wife.

Ending twist is good, but still big plot hole. Stem could be installed without control guards into body at very beginning, because it controled self instalation.
