➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow.

“The twist for the woman voice and the opening scene are definitely my favourites, I was shocked when the reveals happened”

“the ending is not the usual "only one of us will survive" series, the main enemy is not the main villain and I am happy with the ending”

“no primeiro arco do filme, que o intuito do diretor é alcançar um publico amplo, no sentido de que mesmo abordando temas complexos como distúrbios mentais, o mesmo perde a oportunidade de apresentar uma direção autoral - buscando um ponto de vista mais único da cabeça do personagem, por exemplo. Muito pelo contrario: aqui tudo é explicado, fazendo com que ninguém se perca no filme, mesmo que não esteja prestando atenção. O problema mesmo é que essas explicações não se limitam apenas a trama, mas também ao próprio protagonista.

Oras, já não estava bem na cara?!”

“**He's not the same man inside out!** The film was powerful, one of the best of the year I have seen. From the director of 'Warrior'. The story of a freelance accountant who was hired by a company to find the financial frauds. But when he's on the verge to uncover the names, the company rolls back over one of its member's death in the following day. It does not stop there, the life threat tails him and all who were involved with him. Now the film reveals his real identity going back to disclo”
