The film was predictable, but for the most part that didn't detract from the quality. The acting was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect, and the story, though heavily telegraphed, was still gripping. The actual reveal suffers from being overly long and spending too much time establishing facts that the audience has already guessed at, but the resolution feels earned and DiCaprio and Michelle Williams were great in their big scene. Doesn't break any new ground, but still worth a watch.

The Invention of Lying (2009) - Rated 03 Oct 2009

Entertaining but jumbled. It started out as a broad comedy about the only man who knows how to lie, only to take a dark turn as a story about mortality and faith, and then wind up as a frustratingly predictable romantic comedy. The cameos were good, Gervais was his typical self, Louis CK stole most of his scenes, and Jennifer Garner was okay but her whole character was wretchedly, unabashedly vain and superficial for the entire film.
