75The narrative is fractured, David Lynch-style. Everything eventually makes sense -- sort of.
-
70With his sure handling of this thriller's switchback plot and hairpin turns, Hideo Nakata confirms his mastery of genre material in the wake of his phenomenally successful "Ring."
-
70Naturally, the worm turns again and again in this demi-Hitchcockian death trap, and Nakata knows how to shoot scenes of breath-holding paranoia: from a distance, simply, in real time. (We'll see how the inevitable remake, directed by Jonathan Glazer, measures up.)
-
60In the end, Chaos is as compelling as it is confounding, and it's compelling in large part because of the confusion it stirs.
