Prémonitions

I wasn't sure what to make of it based on the review score. Lately, I'm finding that the reviews are becoming less reliable and more fringe opinion.

This movie presents an interesting concept and a troubling moral dilemma. I found it to be well acted (with the exception of the female detective) and fairly well written. I enjoyed the concept of multiple outcomes based on the "butterfly effect" and how they were presented.

Giving bad reviews based on it being written by a man (yes there are a few) or similar nonsense is just wasteful. Overall, it was an interesting watch that left me thinking and somewhat troubled - that's the best kind of movie.

I don't agree with the bad reviews here, I liked this movie very much. The story keeps your attention focused up to the very end. I loved the filming, the editing and the music. If you like a good old fashioned thriller with surprising twists and an end that makes you think about matters of life and death, this is a film to watch. It has just enough body count, car chase and action to be all throughout interesting, without overdoing violence.

Anthony Hopkins' performance it stunning. I always enjoy watching him and here he delivers as well as ever. He can tell the story of his character only with the expression of his eyes and the director uses them well. Colin Farrell does a good job, the other characters are OK but not outstanding.

Firstly, I liked this movie very much. What I didn't like were 2 things: the story was a bit lame (the directing makes it unpredictable) but otherwise the story was flatly OK. The second thing: the tempo and the editing were fast as if it were a TV series. Other than that, it was excellent. The mood of the movie with its colors and lenses and frames was different than anything I've seen, as if the director intentionally wanted to give this genre a different approach. Thus the contre point description: it's too fast and too lucid to belong to this genre. That being said, I can reiterate now and say I liked this movie. It worked for me. It's surprisingly haunting, fresh, it doesn't bore you for a second and it keeps building up. Other than the lame story and the fast editing tempo it's a great effort by an amateur genius (the director). It lingers in your mind, the contre point aspect, the score, the script, the performance by the actors. It's really worth a watch.

When I first seen this on the shelf at my library, I thought it looks pretty good. When I seen this I thought this is a damn good movie with a good story and really good performances.

The film is basically your typical serial killer goes on a rampage and FBI agents must stop him formula, but this film is refreshingly done with great twists and takes interesting turns along the way.

The performances from Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Jefferey Dean Morgan and Abbie Cornish were very good, everyone brought their A-game in this. Jefferey and Abbie play FBI agents and Anthony is a doctor who is physic who from what I can tell, is a cop, and the FBI uses him from time to time on really difficult cases. On this case, the killer there after is just like Anthony's character, a physic ,and has them follow his bazaar riddles and clues, which is really cool.

I know it won't happen but I kinda want to see a sequel to this because the concept is fresh, this film could be a franchise. Originally this was the sequel to Seven that started Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt but was changed to this instead, I think at the time New Line Cinema didn't like it or it never got of the ground, but I'm glad it was rescued and made as this instead. Besides Seven is very hard to franchise if you think about it.

The action scenes are good and the story is cool it's one of these edge of your seat kinda flicks, with a great ending that I will not spoil.

I give it a 7/10. A good movie that I can't recommend enough to you. See it.

Loved the movie, don't go for the 1 star main review...

I found strange that a movie with this 2 actors would get a so low or medium even score, and decided to watch it (usualy I don't see anything below 6.5)

The movie is very good and has a strong message behind it, its not that well hidden, you can identify yourself or someone with the pain that goes through the movie. Who thinks this is a horror movie, or a cliché is going for the wrong film.

Its a story of the "devil's advocate", you will end up having conflicted feelings, hard ones, with some extremes.

Anyways, without spoiling it, unless your expecting a horror or action blockbuster you should watch this movie.

Hopkins delivers and Farrel as well, now the woman main actress doesn't reach this 2 great actors, its the only flaw (Sometimes big one) I find in this film.

Great movie
