I See You

If you want a movie that offers some good suspense and one that does a pretty good job with misdirection along with some WTF head scratching moments then you can't go wrong with this film.

This movie was not what I expected. It actually turned out to be a really decent thriller. Once it kicks into gear, it goes. And it's a fun ride.

I hated this film to begin with. I found it boring, and like some lame c-grade horror flick, with half the scenes barely even making sense. It felt like a Lifetime movie.

Then the film shifted dramatically and changed into something completely different. It was like watching two separate films, with a heap of separate stories taking place at once. It did this effectively though, and managed to weave all the strands together quite well. It certainly drew me in and captivated me throughout the second half.

I really didn't see some of the twists and turns coming. I'm glad I persisted through what I found to be a tedious first half hour. I See You felt like smart writing by the end, and definitely had a little swagger and style in the way it was made.

One of those films that leaves you kind of stunned by the end.

It takes a lot for me to say this, but I watched it twice and I never watch a movie twice.

What we have here is a double whammy, for the first half you think you are watching one movie then it completely slaps you with in the face with HA you thought you figured it out but you didnt at all.

The performances are great all around. I will say that Helen Hunt is not the star of this movie, that says a lot because she is great as always but before you watch it know that she is not the main focus, at times it feels like they just hired her for star power.

Just watch it, I can say moch more without giving away the plot and part of the charm is not to know what is coming at you.

This is a very entertaining, clever thriller.

I would class this as an intelligent piece of writing, somehow it's a thriller within a thriller, it has a jigsaw feel to it, you will watch it and have many questions, how, what and who. Those questions will be answered as the film progresses, the intensity also increases, it is very satisfying.

What starts out as a relatively mild thriller soon morphs into something a lot darker, it goes through phases, ending as a very dark, twisted thriller.

Nicely acted, Helen Hunt does a good job, but all the cast are good.

It's a fine watch. 8/10.
