The latest offering from Christopher Nolan gets so many things right. So many things. The script may not be perfect, but it is exciting in the right parts, and emotional in many others. The cast brings some of their best performances to some very well rounded characters. Nolan's decision to use practical effects instead of constant CGI, is absolutely commendable for a myriad of reasons, but tops among those its keeping the actors' reactions genuine and believable. The biggest problem is that the third act drags on a little long, thus leaving all of the heightened emotions to fizzle out. This is a completely solid film that should be experienced in the theatre, but just know it is flawed.

Two Scentences:
Horns - Sometimes this film feels a little sillier than it needs to be, but that never really keeps it form being enjoyable. Radcliffe brings a lot charisma to his role, and Alexandre Aja keeps the film just the right amount of dark to not disrupt the tongue-in-cheek humor of the script.
Grade: B+
