Previous reviews have stated all the obvious issues people seem to have about this movie. It is a maybe bit over the top at times and the plot is possibly somewhat too rambunctious or perplexing or something to be believable at other points in the movie. But in the end I cared about Oldman's character and really wanted to see what was going to happen to him, and what would happen with he and his wife.
***POSSIBLY VERY MINOR SPOILER AHEAD***
The scene at the end of the movie where he is waiting for his wife and reflecting on his situation, is very moving and real and believable. It is hard for me to explain why in the end I cared so much for what Oldman's character was feeling and about his predicament, given the direction the movie took to get there. But I still did care. I think anyone who likes movies that aren't predictable with a little edginess too the plot, will really like it. Check it out, man.
