Good watch. Great Finale Twist. The last few minutes ruined it for me. Would have rated higher if it ended with that awesome finale. Wonder why they would choose to twist again and mess up the cleverness with a Dallas? ... Jonathan Rhys Meyers continues to be an outstanding talent.

This movie had so much potential. It had great acting from the beginning. Johnathan Meyers was fantastic in so many ways. The production was great the story was great. The story was great because even though Jack was set up to look like a killer sort of psycho, he kept referring back to Antonio's writing, so I had several possibilities in mind as to what could be the plot.But, the ending was the cheapest writing trick in the world - the ol' "It was all a dream" trick. I hate that cop out technique and that kind of story whether a film or book will get the lowest rating from me every single time.

The most fun part of this movie was that Banderas was really really good in it! Perhaps I'll have to go back and see if his track record was as bad as I'd pegged it in my head...And that's really the point, isn't it? What's in your head? Who knows.. only you! I like to skim the reviews of lower rated movies (4.5 - 6 )to see if the sheep of the world just have some weird hangup with a movie and I guess this is one - no idea why it has a low rating (6.1 at this writing) but I gave it an 8 and if I coulda gone 8.5 I would have! Enjoy.

It was a little surprise film, but not that great. I really enjoyed it. It was thrilling, suspense and fast paced storytelling. I usually like this type of flicks. If you too prefer entertainment over a masterpiece, then you would enjoy it as well. Only the beginning was slow, but once the concept of the film ignited, it was a non-stop entertainment. So the later parts are like between the two characters that took place in an isolated place. A great setting and with all the development, the film totally gets you.A struggling alcoholic writer who got rescued by a stranger at a diner, invites him to the home for the stormy night ahead. Later the stranger decides to help him out with his writing, so his stay extends. With talking to each other, the writer comes to know what kind of person he's brought into his house. His agenda ires the stranger and hence a conflict begins between them. The rest of the film is to disclose who ends where with a twist at the end.When the second act begins, that's when your guessing game starts. At the end of that section, I had in my mind that at least 4 to 5 possible paths the story could head. With that kind of option, who won't enjoy such film. Whatever I predicted, that did not happen. That's another reason why I liked it. The twist was good, and so the performances by Jonathan Rhye Meyers and Antonio Banderas. BUT when all was going well, the end scene before the credits, disappointed me. It should have not been in the film at all. That's why I did not like 'Prince of Persia' too. Apart from that final 10 seconds, it was a good film.7/10
