I'm not saying its a bad movie. Its definitely not. I just feel its amazingly unsubtle in its methods and has an amazing tendency to simplify people down to stereotypes. Considering it also has a lot of solid character development I found this surprising.
Probably its greatest crime for me was breaking the suspension of disbelief in so many ways, especially at the end. The twist felt contrived and despite the excellent acting I really could no longer care. It also felt like a message I'd heard before, in stories that dealt with it more evenhandedly.
Like I said, it's not bad. It's just not as clever as people think it is.
Over-rated.
