I watched this movie when I had nothing better to do. Because I had never heard of it and usually most people don't bother with a movie they have'nt heard of before because you automatically assume it's a dud but boy was i surprised! I loved this film so much I am buying it on Bluray! The acting was superb (IMO) and the plot was filled with so many twists and turns I was literally on the edge of my seat from the moment it started. The ending was brilliant - I never saw it coming! Thats what really makes the movie for me - the ending. It's so brilliant in it's unexpectedness (if there was ever such a word?) that it had a "Sixth Sense" ring to it. Pierce plays a good "baddie" IMO. He should play these roles more often. Great film, watch it for yourself - don't be discouraged by negative reviews. It's a good movie!

What a brilliant film. I watched this last night and I have to say this film had so many twists that I was literally chained to my seat. The great thing about this movie is that just when you start to feel sympathy for one character another twist appears which makes you totally change your mind. I never so the end scene coming, and that is the mark of a great film ith some brilliant actors, I really recommend it!

I wasn't expecting much from this film when I started watching it, but it's very well paced and had me interested right from the start. It's a fairly run of the mill thriller, but it's very well executed. The twists and turns come along at just the right time to keep the viewer interested. Pierce Brosnan, Gerard Butler and Maria Bello all carry out their parts very well. There are a few moments that require a suspension of disbelief, but ultimately this film succeeds because it keeps the viewer asking questions right to the end.
Not a bad way to spend 90 minutes.
