I can’t say much because I refuse to be “that guy” who gives stuff away, and this is certainly a movie chock-full of surprises and twists.

A little jarring, I nevertheless recommend it for its hard-hitting—thought-provoking tendencies! I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart though, I admit, for the character Wolverine: aloof, cold with anger, quick-healing, no-holds-barred fighting … great taste in cigars. He’s how I imagine my alter-ego if I were to have an adamantium frame, in the spirit of Mignon McLaughlin, “We come late, if at all, to wine and philosophy: whiskey and action are easier.” It must be noted that, with Wolverine-esque metabolism and skeletal makeup, action would be much easier, indeed!

Also raises some good points about human nature. Is there permanence, or can we change? Can we REALLY ever change? Who would we be without an antithetical character? For instance, Christians ultimately have Satan as contrapunctus, whose very name means Adversary; natural and Quinean scientists and logicians have theologians and Continental philosophers; teachers have students (ha!); thugs have cops, and so forth. Who would you be without your greatest enemy against whom to strive, even if that enemy be a doctrine or mode of thought?

Stay through the credits. There’s another little scene at the very end, after ALL the credits roll, that you absolutely must see.
