GOD, that movie sucked (spoilers)


This movie was horrible. The whole premise makes no sense. Are the doppelgangers a family? And why did it take the main character so long to figure things out? The initial personality of the doppelganger Gina in the phone-box does not fit with the personalities of any of the other doppelgangers. What's worse, the movie is only 88 minutes long and yet, we get to see the same car wreck 10 different times, the main character looking at x-rays 6 different times, and the main character dreaming 3 or 4 times...and each shot is agonizingly slow. The final camera shot at the end of the movie lasts 47 seconds. If that does not seem like a long time, go home and stare at a picture for 47 seconds and you will understand what I mean. Staring at nothing for 47 seconds is deadly boring in cinematic terms. Watch "Let The Right One In", which is still open to interpretation, but makes much more sense, is shot more beautifully, and is creepier. The Broken was just stupid.

Ok, first of all you have no taste in good films, second this film actually had a good story that keeps you guessing what is happening and why, and third it takes the sci-fi feel from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" to add to the thriller feel to this film. I did not think this movie was the greatest film of all time but it still had potential to become a cult classic
