Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Best movie of this year hands down!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Terrible script, plot, production! Pacino was used to make his followers think it would be a decent movie. It's time for him to quit, if he's willing to do this type of work!

Al Pacino was excellent and the other reviews about his dialect are wrong. His accents didn't change through out the movie. Excellent acting and the storyline was superb the way it tied in with the first victim. It kept me focused the whole time and that is hard to do since I'm in a wheelchair and have a large database of movies. A movie is only as good as it's storyline and this was near perfect.

I'll be honest, I had no idea WTF Hangman game was, it's not common outside West. The only reason I saw the movie was because of Urban and Pacino, two of my favorite actors.So basically, I saw the whole movie without researching "Hangman" (the game), expecting there to be a short scene where they would casually mention what Hangman game was played like (can be easily done without making it look like they're explaining it to the audience). So if you aren't a Westerner or have no idea what this game is, most of the stuff the killer does seems more ridiculous than usual. After I watched the movie, I searched on YouTube to see what Hangman game was about (there's like a one min video explaining it, that's all the movie needed as well). This is whole new level of sloppy.ANYWAY, what's hilarious is that after knowing what Hangman game is like, this movie seems even dumber. First of all, I had no idea where they were making most of the connections from. They seem to be assuming a lot of things and Pacino's character is freakin Sherlock Holmes so he's always right about things. In-fact, dialogues are so pointlessly trying to over-complicate things, that you just zone out and stop caring (kinda like the actors who are there just for a paycheck).The murders are just ridiculously dumb. Why does the killer pick Hangman game to kill people? I don't know, THEY don't know, it's never explained. Killer is played by a unimpressive actor who only ONCE makes a appearance in the middle of the movie, until the end. And that middle appearance is nothing special. He seems to hang around every murder and our two heroes are so incompetent that they can't take down a serial killer who keeps showing up at every crime. Hell, in one scene there are cops everywhere next to the murder victim and the killer is casually walking around for dramatic effect.Skipping right to the ending, it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. There is no resolution cause the director thought that this turd would get a sequel, somehow. Knowing Hollywood, it probably will.Why does this movie have 5/10 rating here? This should be about 1/10.

I got about a half an hour into this and couldn't take it any more. Poorly written, poorly directed, poorly edited. I agree with another reviewer; it's a mess.
