Got old really fast

Me too. Like most of his films he came up with some twist and tried to build a movie around it.

I don't know that it ever got silly, but it drug on too long. I think I liked it better on the first viewing (gave it a 7) but I re-watched it tonight, and lowered it to a 6. I like the idea and the purpose of the group behind it, but I think it could have done with less exposition. Once the concept is known, and spoken aloud repeatedly, it takes too long to resolve without really justifying the run time.
