    Personally, Noah came off as pushy and not going to lie a bit unhinged at the start of the movie. Like, if this dude was some average fucker and not Ryan Gosling, literally none of what he does to get Allie's attention would fly, right? A complete stranger climbs onto a moving Ferris wheel, pushes himself onto your seat, and then threatens to kill himself if you don't agree to going out with him.

    After she refuses to meet him…

    I finished the movie a few months ago, watched all 3 hours of it at once.

    My friends, relatives, family friends, have all recommended that this movie was one of the movies you should watch, and have seen this movie in the "Top 100 movies to watch before you die" list multiple times.

    But, for it to be on all of those lists so convincingly, I'm a little confused. Maybe I missed something? I thought that this movie was pretty…

    nothing that clever about the plot honestly. there was no mental chess match between the victim and the kidnapper…

    aand we're back to me hating on films.

    I think it's mediocre but way blown up because of the time. The quality is cheap and the acting, to me, seemed way off. And the general plot was super contrived.

    maybe its because of my distinct hatred of badly made torture porn but i'm not sure. its far too over-hyped for such a plain film. well maybe plain isn't the right word, it certainly had gore and guts but i mean was the gore and guts well placed?

    anyways, its definitely not a rewatch for me.
