An unusually designed film which in every way delivers the themes of deceptive, sycophantic, cooperative behaviour.
The director of Orphan and non-stop, Jorge Dorado; he manages to use a selection of true emotions, portrayed beautifully by actor Mark Strong and actress Taissa Farmiga. I think Jorge Dorado's intent for this film was to create a thrill full experience for the audience, accomplishing his desired aim.
The star presence of Mark Strong engaged myself as we're all used to the striking villain role and tough guy he's often referred to playing. Strong's character John, is much opposite; faultless, innocent, gentle. When taking his first job after a traumatic experience, he becomes overly involved with Anna; portraying this soft character. Taissa Farmiga plays Anna, a girl who ultimately has many qualities and sides to her which perfectly reflects her deceptive persona. She's almost predictable in her behaviour, allowing you to piece the outcome of the film together, but saying this, not all is lost from the unexpected twist. In comparison to these two characters, I find others just seem to fade within the film; this includes Brian Cox's mediocre performance as Sebastian.
Although I find the film to be not that original, I enjoy the concept and thought Jorge Dorado did a marvellous job as a director. A sinister type of setting, with the added creepiness of the flip back and forth from mind to reality. Saying this, I find the film misses points of explanation... what was with that "Mousey" confusion? Apart from these minimalist mistakes, I can say with honesty that it was well worth the watch!
