I just didn't see the mass appeal to this movie. It's been noted as one of the greatest with an 8.0 rating on IMDb but I'm not sure why.

99% of the movie was pointless. It was misdirection and I get that but it was way too much. Nothing that the characters did made any difference on the outcome of the movie.

The villain was my main gripe. There just wasn't enough explanation on why he did what he did. You saw him briefly for two scenes in the movie and while you got the gist of his character, you never understood why. Then at the end she just coincidentally bumps into him at the airport and puts 2 and 2 together? Just didn't buy it.

Brad Pitt was good, he's a good actor although his mental patient acting was a bit much at times.
