Who Am I (2014)
10/10
A great surprise from German cinematography

Warning: Spoilers
There's no denying German cinematography has not been in it's prime in the last 10-20 years, but Who Am I makes a great case for it's revival.

May contain Spoilers!

It's a movie that gets you thinking about more than it's plot, it gets your attention right from the beginning and doesn't let go. The story-line progression is well-paced, maybe a tad too fast and you might regret they don't exploit the abundant actor chemistry. It stands out by being a movie about rebellion and personal perception, how we each choose to see something we want to see.

The movie I feel is a big tribute to Fight Club, it has the same nihilist and rebellious vibe, especially when Max enters the scene. There's even a scene where police enter WhoAmI's room and there are posters of Fight Club. Also as the plot progresses, there's the constant feeling some characters may not be as real as others.

But the ending just blows your mind, combine the Prestige with Fight Club and you got yourself one big mind-f%%k. Excellent movie, I'd totally recommend it to anyone. Smart, fast-paced, well-aimed, great message. 10/10, watch it NOW!
