Brainless

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was absolutely brainless. Look, the term "psychological thriller" is just a pseudonym for "movie that has not satisfying ending." Either the movie is interesting in the beginning, because the plot presents some "unexplainable" occurrence, and has you hooked wondering "how's that possible?"

You get to the end, and "surprise!" It wasn't possible. The character was really crazy! Ha ha! Got you! The only good thing about those story lines is that, even though you are ticked off at the end, at least for the part of the movie you are interested.

If you asked, before I watched this movie, what was worse, a psychological thriller that provides some "unexplainable" plot twist and then cops out and doesn't explain it at the end OR one that doesn't and just sort of lets you know the person is insane from the get-go, I might have said the former.

The truth is, I now realize that it's the later. You're going to be disappointed either way, but at least with the former you are interested at some point in time.

I trudged through this brainless movie and it was a total waste of time. This is by far the biggest waste of cinematography to come to film that I have seen in some time.

The main character is obnoxious. The antagonist, who apparently is supposed to be scary, is a wimp. Anyone of the other characters would have kicked his backside in real life. I could do it with my pinkie finger.

Save yourself! Don't waste your time. Unless you happen to like monotonous ambiguities that no one else likes so you can act all snooty and academic ... in that case, by all means ... you intellectual. ...
