Pretty Intense! spoilers

I liked it!

***SPOILERS!!!***

My thoughts are sporadic, so forgive the random topics.

1. When Guy was leaning over Dr. Myrick, and he said "Please help me" they should have put in real quick Claude saying that same thing from the beginning... It would have added a nice touch I think.

2. I find it a little hard to believe that SO many people were in on it... I don't know, just doesn't make much sense to me. To have so many people in on something, and know about it, yet it still be so hush hush... and, I don't know, hard to explain!

3. Really hard to believe the coke thing... I'm sure they would have drug tested him for court anyway.
4. Wouldn't his friends be a little more surprised about him "allegedly" doing cocaine? And wouldn't they see some sort of clues if it was true?

5. How would Triphase get all the money to have that big place, and pay the workers, and do everything they do, without people knowing what they're doing to give them the money?

Regardless, I really enjoyed the movie. It was very interesting and really kept me suspended!

These are mostly just rhetorical questions I guess... Thinking too much about the movie haha

I agree with many of the points you raise. Have highlighted some myself on other threads.

It's not a bad film and tries (and to a large extent succeeds) to be an unconventional thriller which raises some life-affecting ethical dilemmas.

But you end up having to accept some fairly unlikely scenarios IMO.
