First of all, and as many of people reviewing this movie, I was annoyed by the shaky camera. I totally understand why it's been used, and it does create the desired effect of loss of control and mental chaos, but it's way overdone and even at points it spoils the great performance from Whishaw in the main role as you can barely see his face. It really bothered me at the beginning, but in time I've got pass it and could let myself into the ride.
It's quite an intense one, with good performances and atmosphere, but it didn't feel very realistic to me. A lot of the situations were quite unbelievable (more in London, where I live), and even the character's transformation, I'm no expert, but I'm not so sure it would go that way, I have to trust the director and writer have done some research on it, but I'm still unsure about it, there doesn't seem to be enough going on for a person to break like that. From the beginning we see that the guy has some issues going on though, so it could make sense I guess. Besides the reasons, again, big merit to the main actor on his performance.
The story is quite simple, not much going on really, but overall is an interesting movie.
