Mind Thief

I first watched the trailer for this and found it kind of intriguing, but then I looked at the user reviews. At the time of writing this, there are only 17 other user reviews, and of that, ten of them were 9 or 10 out of ten, and three of them were 1 or 2 out of ten. That seemed a little odd, like the production crew was giving it all 9s and 10s, and then some other faction was purposely rating it low. So I wanted to see for myself what was really going on.

Based on the trailer, I figured this would be a fun movie, and it was. While there are plot holes and questionable acting by some, there's also a decent, unique mystery with some twists, making this film exactly what I thought it would be... A fun film, that was a pleasant way to spend some time on a quiet day.

For the most part, the lead actors were fine. The characters were a bit cartoonish, but again, you can see that in the trailer, so if you go into the film from that mindset, you're good. I'm sure there's going to be someone out there who says they saw every move coming and figured everything out, but I'd have a hard time believing them because the story was odd and definitely original.

Again, the film's surely is not a 10 out of 10 like so many of the first reviews state. (In cases like this, it always seems that the first reviews have to be written by either production crew or a PR firm. There's no way there can be that many perfect scores in a row.) But it's way more than a 1 out of 10 like some other reviewers state. Sit back, let yourself enjoy getting caught up in the ridiculousness of the story, and you should be fine.
