Is this worth watching if..


...you already know the ending?

Ed Powers = Woody Allen

Yes. Everyone watches it the second time anyway, there's plenty to chew on

I agree.

I had a friend over who vaguely knew the story, but she enjoyed it nevertheless. The ending is open and subject to multiple interpretations anyway.

One word: Atmosphere

Yes. You might actually change your mind about the ending.

reply

Yes, 100%!

As someone said, you will watch it more than once anyway and with each viewing you'll spot more and more every time. Hence why I'm still re-watching it in 2016...

I would almost say that the film works even better when you know the twist
