Pretty silly, really. Several times, a character stopped talking for no reason except that to say more would have ruined the suspense of the movie. The self-hypnosis bit was stupid, and the confrontation at the end was goofy. Korvo had no reason to go back to the house where he committed the murder except to destroy the evidence on the records of the victims sessions with Ann's husband. But instead of destroying them, Korvo played them on the record player, then made a silly try to escape when he was dying.
