Captivating movie !

A Masterpiece!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Blistering performances.

The trailer was misleading (surprise!). The trailer made it seem like this was going to be some sort of supernatural thriller with Morgan using telekinesis and so what. In reality this movie is nothing more than an action martial arts movie. You read that right, THIS IS AN ACTION MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE!I actually don't might seeing Kate and Anya engaging in fights during the second half of this movie (This movie is barely 85 minutes, not including credits) because they do a good job with the 2 - 3 fights that they have. The problem is that the fights are so chopped up and quick edited that you end up getting a headache from all the cuts in the fight. The story is interesting at the beginning but loses itself during the second half when it becomes a martial arts action movie. There is really no horror in this movie, and you can't be scared of Morgan because Anya (Actress playing Morgan) is just too good looking of a girl to be scary. Morgan isn't really a force to be afraid of since all she does is threaten people with a handgun, bite people like a dog, and perform martial arts. The characters have ZERO development besides Morgan. Kate Mara has zero character development until the final shot of the movie. The rest of the characters, you know absolutely nothing about. Yeoh is a legendary martial arts actress yet she doesn't even get to showcase her skills in this movie at all. This movie tries to bring in this philosophical element of "even if Morgan is not human, she feels human emotion so maybe she IS human," but it completely abandoned all of that during the second act.Seriously, I am so happy Anya found success in Split because this movie is extremely silly and forgettable. Anya Taylor Joy (Along with the cast) deserves to be in a better film. This is one of the shortest films I have ever seen released on the big screen. It just shows that they had a cool premise but had no idea what to do with it, thus ending it as soon as possible, and with one of the worst death scenes ever for a "villain."There is a cool twist with Kate's character during the final shot of the film, but besides that, this movie doesn't need to be seen unless you have 85 minutes to spend. Don't expect anything big out of this, expect a paper thin plot with zero development and a ton of hand to hand fighting between Anya and Kate.

Good story with a few clever twists and turns. This Sci Fi thriller is entertaining and for a fleeting moment makes you wonder what the future holds for mankind. Generally well acted. Would we watch it again, absolutely. Retained for future viewing.

Why was this movie made? Here's a likely scenario. The son of a rich,talented, successful director needed to cut his teeth on his first directing job. Pick a popular genre, horror. No point in making a movie in a small market, say an Eskimo Sword and Sandal. Pick a script that doesn't need a big budget, no special effects, just a few run of the mill stunts. No big studio sets, film it in the wilderness. Have a small cast, save on payroll. But spend a generous portion of the budget on a good professional cast, but on the other hand you don't need A listers. This is a savvy way you cut your teeth in the movie business.But... the ball was dropped on one crucial guideline, though. If you want to appeal to the broadest audience possible always have a least one likable character!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be fair, some characters started out likable but then they all turned stupid.

---May contain spoilers--- Good movie bad ending worst possible ending.I would give it 10/10 but that ending was so dumb.Why would they do such a dumb ending i cant comprehend.This aside the movie is great.Its not a dumb mindless action movie it actually has a good story.Just watched it.
