Relatively a simple story with a plot which may seem somewhat realistic in a sense. This film turned out to be lesser than what expected. Had relatively higher expectations and they fell short of what was watched.
As a film this is rather slow moving and at many times quite boring. Expected there to be some sort of twists, or any sense of thrills, suspense or mystery. However it was relatively standard, straightforward and ultimately predictable. Well it was shot quite nice as the visuals do stand out.
There was very little emotion shown by the lead Dan Stevens as we see him gain his vision yet everything seemed very subtle.
What was confusing is how he suddenly regained his vision as it didn't mention if he had taken any medicine or anything. Yet one day he wakes up and he can suddenly see. There were several religious undertones throughout as we are led to believe it was a "miracle of God".
Afterwards when he gains his vision, we see his attitude slightly change as he cheats on his wife with a coworker. Suddenly his wife (Malik Akerman) moves out (this was bizarre as there wasn't much shown- no big fight it following scenes showing much. Perhaps much was edited out.)
Then within the end, somehow he wakes up and his vision is mysteriously gone again- as in he's blind. The woman coworker he cheats with leaves him and when he goes to his wife, she doesn't take him back even after seeing he has become blind again. Relatively a sad ending yet it seemed to be bad karma as his character did change for the worse.
Overall the Ticket was rather slow moving, didn't offer anything relatively new or interesting and was left on a sour note. It was not deep as the writers possibly thought. Was disappointed.
