 Rating:  - Despite a lot of of nonsense plot twists, its watchable.There are some nonsense plot twists in the film involving the protagonist rendering decisions that no right-minded person ever would. My girlfriend and I had to pause the movie to discuss how absurd a few of them were. The worst is when the main woman in the story befriends her husband's mistress. This would never happen.

Read More Rating: - If You Ever Awake in an Ice-Bath, Here is How to Proceed ... *Subtle Spoilers May Reside Within - Travel Carefully* I always worry when I read a film-description involving the words "serpentine thriller." "Serpentine" like Miike's "Koroshiya 1" (Ichi the Killer)? Between the non-linear plot and reading the subtitles, a "fun film" turned into a gargantuan mental-exercise (this is not the film's fault, but mine). Or maybe it would be "serpentine" like Kim Ji-Woon's "Janghwa, Hongryeon" (A Tale of Two Sisters)? That film was two steps ahead of me throughout ... Read More
