Recently watched this again with my nephew and it was BETTER than I remembered. (and I already loved it) Not only does it have one of the best opening scenes in movie history, but the characters, the story and a twist so smart you have to pay attention the entire time to catch it....brilliant.
In some scenes the main characters don't even speak but only give looks at one another and you understand what they're saying. Unbelievable performances.
There's a scene where one of them explains the rules of the card game "Hearts" and every line he gives on how the game is played, is getting his point across to the other 2 people in the room. I was blown away that I hadn't noticed that before.
The red herring is also smart because when certain characters find out a secret that the audience knows, they come to the wrong conclusion, leading you to believe it as well. Only to realize you were bamboozled by a ridiculous concept because you took the bait on the "revelation" that in hindsight made no sense.
Absolutely astounding.
If you haven't seen it before....watch it today. Superb film!
