Cillian Murphy- worth watching, Sunshine- worth nothing

RhondaS Nobody (?)

Since I saw this the first day it came out, I had only seen short trailers that didn’t show the psychotic evil character that is a large part of the third act of this movie. Expecting a “Serenity” meets “Apollo 13” brand of film, I was surprised that it spun a complete 180 ? way through.
Murphy- seems to be the 1 person that actually has any part other than to appear for basic dialogue, & does a fantastic job. He draws you in and makes you a part of the film instead of an outsider watching a fantastic farce of futuristic muck. The snag was the introduction of “Pinbacker”, the 3rd act just came across as nonsensical as if 1/2 way through they duct taped 2 separate movie negatives together & figured no one would notice.
The final fight looked more something out of a Tetrus or Atari game instead of a fight scene & while for the entire 2nd act Pinbacker is shown to be just a man, albeit a tad insane, the 3rd act portrays him like a god, immune to the same tactics that have killed others.
