Care for some dose of Misery 2? (well, this one ain't a Stephen King flick)
I admire the tension that the director maintained throughout the movie. It was a mixture of dialogue, suggestion, and doubt that just kept you on the edge. It makes you question the actions these characters did and sometimes think in general...does one become a vigilante and make things right? What does right mean? What if you were wrong? But everyone is capable of making a mistake.
The initial hurdle was getting over Ellen Page's character (who was rather annoying)...and then trying to constantly rationalize. It was exhausting and there were scenes that just made me want to turn away (but of course I didn't :) ). The feeling reminds me of Requiem for a Dream...it was very difficult to watch Ellen Burstyn's deterioration in that story. You just want to jump in and give em a piece of your mind.
But hey, it's a movie ;).
