I'm much more interested in the genre when it trades in big ideas over big effects and Minor Premise delivers this in spades. You've just got to marvel at the creativity involved in conjuring up a scenario where the brain's hemisphere's are split into ten separate personalities in a chess mach against each other. They mine this concept for an effective race against time thriller that makes the most out of it's minimalist setting.

Sathya Sridharan's delivery is on point, but also a little understated, as many of the sub-personalities are never even fully explored. You can only imagine what would happened were the role given to someone like Jim Carrey, and while an over the top performance may have been more impressive, it would likely border on parody.

For such a heady film, it's kind of hard not to overthink the glaring flaws in logic it stumbles through along the way. Sure, such an outlandish premise requires a little willing suspension of disbelief, but one can't help but feel they could have tightened up some of the details. It's not enough to derail the train for me, but if you get hung up on the little things, there's sure to be a couple that rub you the wrong way.

**** "SPOILER / ONLY RELAVENT IF YOU'VE SEEN THE FILM" SECTION****

We're expected to believe each personality accomplishes everything within 6 minutes? One of the personalities buys and installs a security camera, in 6 minutes? It would take longer than that waiting in line at the store. Why didn't they take any precautions to keep the more erratic personalities away from the irreplaceable, life altering equipment? He just leaves the embodiment of anger, prone to smashing things, in a room with his life's work, like there's no alternative? The way they treat having an equation like some sort of secret password/skeleton key? I'm no neuroscientist, but I doubt they're all just one line of algebra away from taping into the inner mechanics of the brain. Honestly, the whole thing is preposterous really, and for the most part, I'm all for it, I just needed to vent a few gripes.

I can't understand the amazing reviews on this. I couldn't even finish this film. The plot was weak, horrible acting. It was as if we watching someone who was so bored by lockdown that they were trying anything to get through but for us the viewers it was irritating and boring.

I'm not sure what the point of this movie was. I really did not enjoy it. Tedious and seemed much longer than the actual run time. Not sure why so many people found this to be a good movie.
