Recently watched it. I thought it was pretty interesting for the first 40 minutes or so, but I didn't really like the way they took the story. The twists were clever, but it just seemed to be missing something. Maybe it was the casting, I'm not sure.

Now that I think about it, it was probably the supporting cast. I really enjoy moves that are packed with interesting characters, and they were all pretty boring in this one.
