A brilliant movie like "Peacock" hardly gets a look-see while drek drowns our screens. Oh yes, that demographic thing of teenage pimply boys out to see the stickemups and blowemups rule the roost of the film industry.

Cillian Murphy, an actor who never disappoints and Ellen Page of equal calibre give incredible performances in challenging roles.

I've only seen it the once so far but I hear from other aficionados that it's worth a second and third look due to its subtleties which might be missed upon viewing first time around.

Astonishing performance is the accolade I would offer Cillian's performance, worthy of an Oscar for all it brings to the role. And so believable.

8 out of 10

Cillian Murphy is really good in this. I actually can almost not think of another actor playing this particular role. It is very demanding and he goes places that I'm sure some people wouldn't dare go (or follow him for that reason). It really is a good movie. A weird little story with great actors all over the place.

I especially loved the ending, though they seemed to be unsure of how to go, since there are alternate endings on the disc. Very slow and very uncomfortable to watch, it is something that I hope will be cherished by quite a few people. Even if it only gets a home entertainment release (like in Germany) and does not see the light of the cinemas. I dare you to watch it

This Movie is about the Suffering of an Abused Child that Grows-Up Dazed and Confused. The Film also Suffers from Inattention on all Levels. Never Released, Ignored by Critics, and Misunderstood as a Horror-Show.

Cillian Murphy in a Dual Role is Remarkable. A Good Supporting Cast lend Gravitas to the Proceedings. It is Underwritten, Underplayed, and Under-Appreciated as a Character Study. A Subtle Psychological Study of a Disturbed Individual whose Sequestered Mundane Life is Controlled by Two Competing Personalities.

His Existence as a Dual Personality is Completely Unknown to the Small-Town-Folks in 1950's Rural America. Than His Life becomes Literally a Trainwreck and Things Spiral Out of Control. The Movie has many Strengths with an Ending that People Find Weak. Not So.

Overall, it's Different, Quirky, On the Edge, and Brilliantly Handled. But in Doing so the Unassuming, Laid-Back Style of the Presentation Alienated Everyone from the Producers to the Viewing Audience. It's an Unforgettable Film that will Find a Cult Following and will be Applauded and Appreciated as Word Gets Out.
