This film is fantastic! Truly thought provoking, I saw it yesterday and it still keeps creeping into my mind. It's one of those films that you don't know what is going on until the final minutes, and then everything is revealed and makes perfect sense. The ending is a twist but not one that is tacked on and unnecessary, the entire film leads up to it perfectly. Don't try to figure it out while watching, you'll never ever do it!
The amusment park ride is one of the best scenes in recent memory!

I'm not going to be able to see this until it comes out on DVD. I'm very pissed off now.

It isn't really a horror movie by any stretch of the imagination, but I can see it appealing mostly to genre fans, particularly because it's story has such little scope.

That being said, the dialogue, atmosphere and music are all A+, as are the taut performances. Christian Bale is of course fantastic, it's an incredible performance, but what's even cooler is the prefernce of IRONSIDE!!! Michael Ironside RULES in this.

The whole thing is meant to be something of a Nine Inch Nails homage, which is also kinda neat.
