Good movie but grossly overrated
Good concept, poorly executed.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
A couple of men successfully rob a bank, but when they arrive at a abandoned hanger with the loot to meet with their leader they find him shot and burned to death. The shocked bank-robbers then try to think back, to find some clue to how this could have happened. This movie reminded me of The Usual Suspects(1995) and Reservoir Dogs(1992). And although those movies are far superior I really did enjoy this nice crime-thriller. Well directed and written it will keep your attention from begin till end, there are no dull moments. The characters are great and the performance of the entire cast is very good. Just like the characters I still didn't have a clue after the numerous flashbacks there are in this movie. I really had to wait until the final minutes of the movie to see the mystery unraveled, and that's why Puzzle is a very good thriller!
