the dumb ass wife kept letting gordo in when bateman wasn't home i almost walked out that hoe

this movie was pretty good. had some pointless scares (like the shower scene) and the dog scence. wife was horrible and ugly

But you didn't. That says something.

I think you completely misinterpreted the film.

I would go as far as saying he definitely didn't rape her -- it would conflict with who he was as a character and the story -- it was opaque simply for the effect of putting us in Simon's shoes/mental state. Gordo wasn't raped, Simon lied to make it seem so - this is mirrored by Gordo's modus operandi towards Simon in the third act. I don't think Edgerton was trying to make the audience feel like bullying was the acme of human degradation, at all. It was a simple case of, as by Gordo's mantra "an eye for an eye" - just like Simon's lie ruined his life, he wanted the same for him - whose demise could be argued as being self-inflicted through being a pathological liar.

It was a lose/lose situation for Simon - does he ask for a paternity test, knowing full well that if the baby turned out to be his, the circumstantial evidence could place doubt in his wife's mind as to who the guilty party might be [one behind the mask] - meaning whatever chance he previously had at saving his marriage would now be beyond rectifiable. Or does he live the rest of his life without knowing if he's the father or not?

Agree with this 100%

[Ces1ne?]

the trailer seems better than the movie

It was......
I fukk with Bateman (dudes sarcasm & dead-pan humor are great) & Warrior was fukking amazing so Edgerton is cool with me.........but this movie was one of the worst & most boring I've seen in a looooong time. Absolutely nothing positive to say about it at all & they didn't even use a semi-attractive female lead to have something to look at.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

The trailers for this sucked so I have no idea where anybody can think the trailer seems better than the movie.

I think everybody was downright shocked when this got well reviewed.

Anyway,just watched it. Really loved it.

Perfect ending,perfect story arc.

9/10

 

[duncanthetall]

Just watched this. Edgerton sealed his spot as one of my favorites out. His directorial debut too? Not fukking bad. Dude was so creepy in this but Bateman was such a fukking dikk.

Watched this recently with my girl. I called out the twist early on but when the movie actually went there I was like

I would give it an 8/10 because I was liked how they flipped the roles of the bad guy.
