    I don't really recommend this movie - it was dark, scary, and boring all at the same time. The best scene was the one with the bar that had video images of all the patrons.

    What didn't work for me was that Sandra Oh's character was the sympathetic one, while the rest were a bit too cool to care about anyone but themselves. I know this is an opera remake (Rigoletto), but I wished there was more focus between Rick and his daughter - instead of having her show up nearly halfway through the movie.

    Yes   |   No

    I liked the movie and thought it was a great story. The only thing I couldn't figure out was the unbelievable lack of suspense. The only suspense is wondering how they plot will twist to deviate from all the foreshadowing. But it never does! The ending is very harsh, and very appropriate for an opera. I liked it.
