And the hypnosis thing is the ultimate cop out. It seems like they started with an awesome idea: guy is locked up for 15 years then hunts down the person who locked him up. But instead, they throw in the hypnosis bomb and it really cheapens the movie. I don't think I can suspend my belief enough for hypnosis when a guy attempts to rape a girl in a bathroom, then she immediately forgives him. Espencially considering she just met him.

I think that was something cultural about a woman inviting a man into her house and then refusing to have sex with him.

Anyways I thought the movie very, very good. The cinematography is done beautifully, the plot (to me) was intresting to watch. And I see some people didn't like the fight scene, which I felt was amazing since it just seemed a bit less "godly" and more of a guy fueled on adrenaline barely surviving.

5/5
