This film is filled with Lots of plot twist that I did not see coming even up to the end.

I liked how the flashbacks were used for this film. They were used a lot better to tell the story compared than many other times I have seen them utilized.

One scene that stood out to me seeing all the numbers Ben Affleck's character had written on the glass windows and eraser board and all the markers he went through and dried up conveying the time that has passed.

I believe that this may be One of Ben Affleck's best performances.

The fights were intense. I liked how just showing the feet, shot bodies, people in shadows, the gun sitting on the table, hearing sounds, or saying what happened to others created suspense and fear of their capabilities.

This film had a lot of plot twist and reveals up till the end of the film.

This film did a great job on character development and making you care about the characters.

This movie was advertised badly in that I expected something different.

This made the fights intense in the family relationship and the character development.

The car trailer and the layout of items with the money, comics, artwork, puzzles organization of drawers looked really cool.

I like the research done for this film and the back story and flash backs were utilized so well. Flashbacks were used so well compared to how I have seen other films.

The intense violence was short which I appreciated. I was expecting it to be much more graphic. There are lead ups to the violent scenes and a lot of it is hinted to by music ques, seeing a foot, a hands, a gun, blood splatters.

The music does a great job of leading you in a particular way without actually telling you what is going to happen. The score by Mark Isham does a great job or creating a false sense of security, creating suspense, or giving you an impression of the scene without telling you what is going to occur in a scene. I enjoyed the film score to this film. 

The action was create but several times I felt as the cuts occurred too quickly and I had trouble identifying what exactly was occurring in the fight. Especially when it can to the hand to hand combat.

I liked how close ups of parts of the body or objects were used to create suspense.

One aspect I enjoyed and the major draws to the film that drew me to this film once I discovered that that was what this film was about was Autism and coping with their disabilities. I really appreciated how well this film depicted Autism in this film.

I later appreciated the scene where Ben Affleck's character stayed in a room seen sitting in a bed room with all kinds of objects and things that could set him off and using it to try and remain calm as things such as rapid flashing lights, loud music, a clock could stimulate him to set him off but attempts to use it as a way to stay focused and not go off in a tangent but eventually in the film when someone erases what he has done and interrupts his task and is not allowed to complete a task he is set off when he turns on the stimulation in a room. I think that this film did a great job depicting some of the characteristics of Autism.

This film becomes great in that it shows that even with disabilities people can do great things. As seen by the final reveal of who has been making the phone calls to Ben Affleck's character.
