The Invisible Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Awful first half hour - & then it gets *really* good

The first half hour is a difficult watch, Chatwin seems a bit too good looking to be the geeky outsider he portrays and certainly doesn’t pull it off to the degree that say, Gyllenhaal did in Donnie Darko.

The first 30 minutes are a difficult watch and in all honesty I wasn’t far shy of switching it off, but suddenly after circumstances change within the story, Chatwin suddenly starts to act, to be invested and involved and it not only stole my attention, but commanded it.

Lots of neat touches kick in as the story evolves, even some that clicked after the film had finished.

After the visual and storytelling storytelling abomination that was Blade 3, director David S. Goyer shows some serious visual chops here and keeps the look of the film beautifully engaging.

It’s not going to change the world, but I was highly entertained. A great slice of popcorn, thoroughly enjoyed.

Slow

The idea for the story was fine,

but a bit un-realistic,

I found it a bit slow
