    I saw it the night it came out, and I liked it a lot. There wasn't anything particular innovating about it as far as the story line or twists really go, but it was a good, solid, enjoyable movie.

    They were hyping it as a scary movie, though other than a couple of parts it really wasn't. I didn't see who the actual murderer was coming at all. I thought the director also did a great job with his use of symbolism.

    some disturbing scenes involving people and moving vehicles, i must say!

    the big twist...the whole twist of what the story actually was...i didn't see that coming.

    I figured the big one out pretty early on. I knew what was going on; I just wasn't really sure why.

    I didn't see the very end coming at all though.

    I knew something was up fairly early, right before they caught the fugitive.

    The first twist was cool, the second twist was stupid.

    WARNING!!! SPOILIER AHEAD...SPOILER..SPOILER..SPOILER!!!




    i thought the second twist was stupid too...at first. but the more i think about it...it is all in this guy's head. any one of the identities had the power to do virtually anything because it all exists in his head. that tends to diminish the idea that it's impossible for the kid to do it all.

    but i thought the general concept was really good...really creative.

    CONT. SPOILER DISCUSSION...

    I didn't really think it was stupid because I didn't think it was possible for the kid to do it all, it just seemed to cheesy to me.

    BIG SPOILER DON'T READ UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE. SPOILER ALERT!


    I liked the twist that all the characters were in his head because it was an interesting twist.

    At the same time I didn't like the twist because all the characters were in his head, and I wanted to see a legitimate mystery solved.

    Just a couple of minor things about the twist that I thought were a little off, but still forgivable. His doctor said that this was the first meeting of the characters and was designed to kill most of them off. If it was the first meeting of the charactes how were two of them married? And three of them were actually a mother, step-father, and son. Two of them were also prisoners together. So a large number of the personalities had to have known each other.

    Good point, FB...that really wasn't addressed.
