Entertaining, but fragmented

Better than I was expecting -- given it had an average rating of 5.4 out of 10 when I watched it -- but there was too little there to make it a must see.I'd suggest there were a couple of key flaws.First, so much of this seems to hinge on the central concept expounded in "The Infernal Machine", the one and only book written by Bruce Cogburn. And yet, when that concept is explained, I struggled to understand how someone fleshed it out to produce a novel rather than simply a short story.Second, the precise motivation of Bruce Cogburn's "tormenter" wasn't clear to me, nor was it clear how that person had the financial resources necessary to inflict such torment.Still, I enjoyed it. And you might if you don't think too much about the flaws.

Above par

This was quite an ok flick. Large part of this is due to Guy Pearce's contribution. He's usually a dependable actor, and comes through here with flying colors. In fact he's the best thing about the movie. Granted that the rest of the cast aren't given much space, apart from Jeremy Davies who is also brilliant with his limited role, no one else stands out. Alice Eve as the female officer doesn't work at all.

The movie itself is very slow moving, but I still found myself getting drawn in to the story. Can't say that the ending had any particular payoff for me, but it still worked. Would say I was pleasantly surprised by this.
