Spoiler Discussion

1. I knew from the moment the title card sequence was being revealed the movie would be good. The ebb and flow of the waves crashing against the rock revealing the title and other parties is a clever nod back at the book/movie that sets the tone for the escape to come.

2. The only real story problems I had were concerning the Uber driver sub-plot. The addition of Tom (Michael Dorman) as another invisible man introduces a lot of answers and new questions for the sequence of events, but this is the most curious one for me. Did Adrian manage to get into the ride-share vehicle with her or was it his brother who was messing with her while she stayed at home? Like who was where when?

It’s important for a few reasons. First is why let the driver live at all? If it’s Adrian following her the whole time then he’s not as smart as we think. He could’ve killed the driver to ensure that Cecilia couldn’t get back home ensuring his plan goes off properly. Maybe he was scared of someone checking her Uber call history or something. Whatever, no big deal. The bigger issue is that he knows that she’s gone into the lab and has taken a suit. So why does he not search the closet he knew she went into for the suit to keep it hidden away? If he had, then his death at the end wouldn’t be possible.

If it’s Tom and he has his suit on, did Cecilia steal a 3rd suit or did Adrian’s suit get stolen in the process. A 3rd suit wouldn’t make sense because it’d be a liability waiting to be exploited. If Adrian is a genius he wouldn’t allow that to happen. If it did happen, he’d have a log to check of some sort of when the suit was removed and could figure out where it’s gone. If it’s his actual suit, it’s all of the above with more severity.

Adrian being as intelligent as he is should’ve noticed a suit was gone no matter what, and the addition of a twin accomplice just complicates it even more. I’d be curious to see a director commentary track or something explaining the events.

3. Despite my issues in #2 above, I absolutely love every moment of the ending. It’s unexpected, comes at just the right moment, and feels oh so cathartic. I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face as Cecilia drops the act and reveals that it was her the whole time. The dread on James’s face as she leaves tells it all.

4. I don’t have an issue with the restaurant scene like other people , because I think the ending deliberately shows the audience how camera angles can be manipulated to show very different events from what’s going on. Especially because Local P.D is not going to see a tape of a floating knife and go there’s an invisible person involved. They’re going to rationalize it away and go with the easy explanation. Furthermore, the whole point of the restaurant scene is to demonstrate Adrian’s power over Cecilia. He rips away her security in a quite literal fashion. She wants to be in public because she thinks he can’t hurt her, so he does and manages to incriminate her at the same time. It’s a brutal move that shows just how cruel he’s willing to be to get what he wants and also serves as the reason Cecilia can never be safe as long as he’s alive.
