Really good movie, it deserves a better rating than a 6, my ten is to bump it up. From a literal frame of reference, some of it is unbelievable, like how he is talking and texting while playing the most difficult piano piece in the world....but I think people are missing the real beauty of this piece (movie). The movie itself is like a piece of music, rising and falling with a continual rise to the crescendo. All of this action and suspense/tension could very well have been taking place in the mind of the main character. You sense from the very start how neurotic and anxious he is about his career and his screw-ups. The way the movie unfolds make you feel like you are inside the mind of the pianist as he is playing the most difficult piece of music in the world. So the director NAILED it, if that was his intent. People don't see the underlying meaning to things, or how art can be a metaphor, for the human mind. Finally, throughout the starting about 5 people tell him to BREAK A LEG...haha. When he ends up falling and actually breaking his leg, I had totally forgot about that buildup, and it was genuinely GENIUS. A perfect ending to this intelligent thriller.
