7.1 for this masterpiece??? =possible spoilers=


I know this has been chewed and talked about for ages but seriously, 7.1?

The concept is profound as it examines the role of double spies and collaborators and the immense torment that their role inflicts on their conscience. It also touches on things like trust and loyalty, identity, and acceptance.

The premise of the movie was original in my opinion, the actors had good chemistry and gave an outstanding performance.

The strongest point of the film however, is that it makes the viewer put themselves in the position of Campbell and make them wonder whether they would go down a similar route after enduring such an extraordinary experience.

Looking at the breakdown of votes, it seems that females gave this a lower score than males but what surprises me the most is that the top 1000 voters didn't really seem to like the movie that much.

Is there something wrong with the 1500 people who gave it 8, 9 and 10 (including myself)?

P.S. For Metal Gear Solid fans, did you find parallels between this and MGS3?

This was recommended to me by a colleague in work and I found it desperately slow and disappointing.
