| There is one plot twist, however, late in the film involving Michael Douglas' character that really stupefied me. |
| Instead, he spools out an obvious, by-the-numbers plot, with an ending bereft of any impact thanks to a too-convenient plot twist. |
| The big problem is, the script is knuckleheaded, employing a plot twist that defies all reason for the sake of mere surprise. |
| At this point, the film begins to play its highest cards, with a breathtaking new plot twist about every three minutes. |
| I was once graded down on a high school creative writing assignment for utilizing the same lame plot twist. |
| This is a beautifully poised film that peels away the external artifice of its central character layer by layer, with each plot twist raising as many questions as it answers. |
