The biggest mistake in this film is the final moment of the final scene, which is a bit too much like Darth Vader screaming "NOOooOOOooo!!" at the end of Episode III. Other than that, the film is remarkably restrained and allows mostly quality performances to link together this telling of the classic Frankenstein tale in modern LA. The newest wrinkle is the use of Elizabeth as a Freudian motivation for Adam, which mostly works and allows for an interesting psychoanalytic representation of the classic story.
Otherwise, Xavier Samuel is very good as Adam, providing a restrained but effective performance as the Monster/Adam and generating significant pathos for the poor but terribly violent soul.
