Review of Split (2017) by Nrthgeorgiamike — 24 May 2017

If I had rated this movie immediately after watching it, I would have given it a 3 based on what I felt was SUCH a disappointment of an ending. However, after considering my enjoyment of an interesting plot line for most of the movie, and VERY good acting by the majority of the characters, I was entertained overall. Yes... McAvoy WAS exceptional, and this film probably would have failed miserably were he not cast in the lead role. I also thought that Betty Buckley's psychologist role was very well acted... she did a great job with it. This is the first I've seen of Anya Taylor-Joy and she, too, did a great job with her character.

I'm not really a fan of director MNS, so my expectations were not high. The plot line was intriguing and interesting most of the movie, but fell apart at the end as it went from reasonably "intellectual" to more like Sci-Fi. Finally... for anyone that has not seen another of MNS's movies, the final scene will NOT have any payoff value at all. IF it was a setup for a sequel, I won't be going to see it.
