    It was playing at one theatre in the Twin Cities area for a few weeks, but I noticed that it was at multiple theatres yesterday so we went and saw it. It was extremely entertaining with an unusual plot and technique(i am not revealing anything that you would not get from the reviews/trailers).

    I am curious as to other folks thoughts on the movie. It is certainly one that will generate conversation.

    I thought it was OK. Not nearly as good as all of the hype it's been receiving, which is normally the case.

    The only part I really enjoyed was the side story of the insurance case.

    I saw that thing like 2 months ago in DC. I thought it was pretty darn good. Very hard to follow in a good sort of way. Not a complete movie, but it certainly keeps you on your toes. I'd give it a B+

    I thought it was a pretty great movie. Narrow focus in a Great Gatsby sort of way. Confronts a lot of existential issues and questions how we know what we know. It's hard to really talk about it without giving the story away and it would really ruin it to know the story beforehand.

    I thought it was very good. The acting and story were excellent, something seemed to be missing... maybe the ending was a little bit of a let-down, but overall a very entertaining movie.
