I guessed the twist before then in my first viewing, so I didn't feel the same. I also didn't connect with the brothers very well, and thought the more impulsive one got what he deserved. I didn't like how the other guy was spun into a villain either. It struck me as a clumsy version of the Count of Monti Cristo, except his obsession with revenge just turned him into a tremendous asshole. For characters I like Inception much better, and Bale has had better roles in the Mechanic and the Fighter. All my opinion obviously, but I wouldn't suggest anyone rush out to buy this movie blind.
