Don't listen to the negative reviews
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
I thought Anna was surprisingly well done. The characters were very well developed as you see back story on every main character through memories. Whether it's all true is debatable. What starts off as a cat and mouse game becomes much more. Highly enjoyable film even though it borrows concepts. I mean really it's all been done before you just have to do it different nowadays.
I've seen worse. This isn't too bad.Problem number 1, at least for me, is that I thought it was some sort of a horror movie. Perhaps that's my mistake. Instead it's a psychological thriller.Problem number 2 is that there are no really good acting performances in this film. Everyone does "okay".All this is not to say that the film doesn't have its moments. The concept of a "mind detective" is actually kinda interesting. And, any movie that has a double twist at the end -- neither of which I saw coming -- can't be all bad.But here's the bottom line. If I had it to do over again, I wish I'd not wasted 99 minutes. I would compare this to a moderate t.v. movie.
It's always tough for a movie that tries to twist its way into your brain (no pun intended), to be 100 % successful. Still this has the actors to pull things off quite nicely. Mark Strong especially and Brian Cox in a smaller role are able to convey a very crazy idea to the viewer. You could say the idea is "far out".But good science fiction is always bending boundaries. And the tapping into someones mind thing is not really new. There is more on the story that is apparent on the surface of course and there is a running theme, that is too obvious, but maybe a bit too much, if you think about it after watching the movie. Decent effort, but not really great
Mindscape has a good material in it. Reading other people's memory is good enough to make a nice film. But this movie definitely failed to do that. I feel like this movie seems like a chef made a bad dish out of fresh and delicious ingredients.First, it has sloppy story lines. From the first time, it was so obvious the way the story goes, and it went exactly the way I expected. The main characters are both handsome and attractive, but Mark Strong(John) was too dumb in the movie. I felt that there was some love line between John and Anna, but it was not interesting nor understandable.There were too many things going on in movie, from the John's wife, roses and to Mousey. But I don't think the movie gathered the things very well. Lots of pieces left a just part of the movie, so sometimes I wondered "is it really necessary in this movie?".If you are a big fan of these kinds of movie, you can watch it. I cannot really recommend this movie to other movie fans. I give 6 out of 10.
