Review of Citadel (2012) by Greg S — 29 Dec 2012

A well made and ocasionally scary psychological thriller, Citadel fails mostly for being overly long and taking the easy route half way. It had something interesting to say and I was expecting a more visceral, bleak and no-easy-answers kind of thing but it turns to cliché and starts to loose interest when it does so.

The lead could've been a bit more likeable, but given the approach to his character, he has a pass. Fortunently the director can put some tense scenes rather well and shocking moments too and that saves the movie for the most part.
