It’s kind of a mind fuck type of movie, don’t get me wrong it’s good but it is kind of a slow burner. In my mind the movie has a few question marks that don’t seem to be answered like the little flashback things that happen to him like with the sprinkler and stuff. Like does the guy that he took over still exist in there or is it like a subconscious thing. I don’t know but still it’s pretty solid flick and I advise to give it a watch, I definitely will rewatch it sometime. Watched with @aprhys

In a movie filled to the brim with mental health professionals making unadvisable decisions whenever faced with an ethical dilemma, what by far takes the cake as being the worst is TAKING KEVIN SPACEY HOME TO MEET YOUR CHILDREN

Found this a bit middle of the road and felt it edging me with no climax the whole time but it isn’t a bad film just so very average for potential ideas that could’ve played out.
