Peacock (2010) - 4.5/5

i'm not sure where to begin... so i'll start by saying that despite my rating of 4.5/5, this movie is definitely not for everyone.

i decided to watch this movie without seeing a trailer or knowing anything about the movie whatsoever, but purely based on who was in the movie. in fact, i only heard about this movie by browsing ellen page's profile on imdb. who, by the way, was perfectly cast for her role.

...and speaking of perfectly cast... cillian murphy was absolutely incredible, and i honestly couldn't picture anyone else playing this part.

i love psychological thrillers, and was pleasantly surprised when i realized that this movie was one. absolutely brilliant. if you love psychology, or love seeing the potential of the human mind, than this movie is for you.

4.5/5

  2. because it isn't entertaining. if you only watch movies to be entertained, you won't like this movie. (ie: why most people hate the life aquatic...)

    ...but if you pay attention to all aspects of a movie, like cinematography, screenplay, etc... then you'll like this movie a lot. (ie: anything by charlie kaufman)
