The Nines is a metaphysical suspense story about Ryan Reynolds playing three different characters, and how they are all connected.
Not much to discuss on the movie as I would provide immediate spoilers. It is divided into three parts, each delineating the three personalities played by RR and the consistent relationships with the two concurrent supporting actresses, played by Melissa MacCarthy and Hope Davis.
The transitions between the three parts originally raised eyebrows for me, and I was almost getting bored scratching my head with The Nines midway when watching the second act. That was the only weakness I saw in this movie which led me to feel slightly uninterested. Once the final act came in, in which he plays the Video game Designer lost in the woods with his family, the story reconciles with its preceding contrivances. The clever ending gives us the typical flashbacks on the apparent plot-twist, yet it doesn't become overbearing in metaphysical exposition, which might have led to increased boredom.
I felt actually satisfied with the ending, once I got past the first two acts. Despite the adult situations, I recommend this movie for the general audience. The Nines has a certain gentleness about its delivery and doesn't come on too strong, I can't think of any reason why anyone would hate this movie if they watched it through.
