This movie is surprisingly good. one of the best plot twist i have ever seen. some part are touching. pretty face alba, what more do you want? i am afraid the critics got it all wrong. watch it!
Sean W. gave it a7:
I found this suprisingly enjoyable. Christensen and Alba gives better than average yet still mediocre performances. Story is generally gripping, except for a few spots. Overall a worthwhile film
Lev S. gave it a6:
Look, I enjoyed it until the final ridiculous plot turn where all was revealed and the whole thing was wrapped up. What could have been an engaging thriller was cut short with the VO telling us what we actually wanted to see.
Felix gave it a1:
Facts in the beginning are far from accurate. As others before me have said there are quite a few holes in this that make it fall short.
Dino P. gave it a10:
