Review of Limbo

Limbo (I) (1999)
7/10
The most frustrating ending in the world
7 June 1999
While any John Sayles movie is better than most movies out there, Limbo simply has the most frustrating ending in the world. The film starts to unravel halfway through, when the main characters are stuck on an island. But this ironically is when the true story starts to build. Mr. Sayles decides to spin 180 degrees into a suspense thriller. And while he seems to be giving his audience a lot of credit, the ending feels like he does not take responsibility for his characters. I have never heard an audience get so upset (which, on second thought, may be worth the price of admission).
