The Tall Man (2012)
7/10
Indescribable

Indescribable, other than to say there are so many twists and surprises there is no way to guess what's next...or how it ends. And this movie has plenty of depth that allows for interpretation. Definitely not a one trick pony!

The movie started slow, and I was bored for the first 15 minutes, but I hung in there and so glad I did. It's a really good movie! The acting is terrific. The characters are complex, each conveying some "good" and some "bad" as well as some mystery. The plot is complicated but eventually everything comes together. What you thought you knew, you eventually realize was far off base.

The constant twists are very effective at moving the storyline along at a pretty fast pace (I.e., you don't want to miss scenes or you will not get the full impact). Everything gets explained, but you have to pay attention to every scene.

Kudos to the writers and producers for tying up the storyline in a neat bow. So many other movies leave lose ends all over the place and fall short on the logic/explanation, but not this one. Stick with it until the end and you will be happy that you did!

Not a perfect movie, but far better than average and definitely worth a watch. It's a really good example of what lesser films "should" mirror to be better.
