I hate this kind of movies and I seem to stumble upon them again and again. It must be because any mention of the actual idea of the movie spoils it beyond watching, so all the reviews or descriptions I read are vague and trying to find the interesting parts rather than the bland, stupid, cheated truth: SHE WAS DEAD!
I mean, it's not that there is anything important or well done in the movie, it's that they change the rules as they go. In the end, the viewer cannot possibly feel anything but lied to. You construct one's reality, you suspend disbelief and then you pop the hidden camera: "Smile, everything you've watched is a random thing that made no sense and we kind of fooled you. Surprise!".
And even if I try to move past this annoying and ridiculous pretense of making movies (who does actually enjoy this?!) the film itself was completely uninteresting. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was a complete waste of my time. Anne Hathaway's name in the cast should have said something to me, but at least her movies appealed to my wife occasionally.
Bottom line: "I feel cheated and betrayed, doctor, what do you recommend?" "Stay away from plot less movies and you should be fine!"
