I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this movie. After a year of so-called hits made by the MTV community of movie makers (with flashy, chaotic, confusing films) this was a wonderful change of pace.
Well written and produced, it pulled off a difficult, twisting, and intermingling plot with grace and clarity. Each character had it's moment and was connected with the rest of the characters in a clear way... The mostly unknown actors did excellent jobs, as did Kevin Spacey! With an almost morbid, black humorous tone, I thought at first I'd be appalled and disgusted, but the whole thing was done in such a tasteful manner, that I remained interested and intrigued the whole way through.
I'm a sucker for trying to figure out and ending, and these guys had me going nuts in the last fifteen minutes: changing my mind, and blowing any incling I had out of the water.
