A Perfect Enemy

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.

OK - so let's get this out of the way - if you're an MCU fan then this is not the film for you. Nothing blows up - there are no clever quips in the middle of battles - just a tour de force of acting by two excellent protagonists and some amazing dialogue and story-telling.

NOTHING blows up - there are no fast and furious cars.

If you like good writing, acting - good cinema - then this is worth your time.

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.

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.

With the brand''x'' stamped in the forehead. Its a well hidden story about a childhood misery, a lovestory and a tale about a murder. Its very well conducted, filmed and acted at all levels, in a typical european way of cloaking a plot.so if you havent read the book it has its surprising twists. So its a recommend from the ever so grumpy old man.
