Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
James Wright Without spoilers, to say straight off that you will see all the reveals in this movie coming a mile off and frankly; it doesn't matter! While you could see this film as being all about the mystery of the plot it is much more about the characters and their relationship to each other. Throughout the movie this dynamic changes and it is always fascinating to watch, constantly pushing and questioning your own perceptions and how you identify with these characters. You know a film is doing a good job in getting you invested in its characters when you at once want them to kiss and at the same time hope that at least one of them stabs the other.While not exactly slow-paced, the simple story may make some viewers restless, especially if you are all about plot and not character. But if you have any interest in people and why they do the things they do then this should be an enjoyable ride, with enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat, even when you start to lean back to consider the implications of the latest reveal.Overall this film is a joy to watch and does a lot with a little, highly recommended.
GL84 After coming home from work, a troubled woman meets a stranger frantically trying to escape from a deranged serial killer and soon becomes entangled in a deadly, violent game with the killer now targeting her as well as someone who can't be trusted with what their saying.This isn't all that great of an entry, especially since this one tends to really meander around all over the place with the incredibly illogical manner of featuring back-story segments within the main storyline, making everything so jumbled around and hard to really understand that there's almost no way of ensuring that the film is coherent in any way. As the main plot-point here isn't all that great to start with, and tends to be incredibly predictable anyway, that just leaves an even more-pronounced sour feeling with the film. While the twists and turns do give it somewhat of a watchable-feeling as it goes along, that there's not a lot of other elements to keep it interesting are a major downfall, although several scenes are enjoyable enough and provide enough action and suspense to not make it a total loss, but it is a flawed experience overall.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Violence and Brief Full Nudity.
kosmasp That's what the movie is called in Germany. A movie title that also has a "subtitle" attached to it, that makes it even clearer where the movie is heading. But even without it, I'd be surprised if anyone does not see quite a couple of things coming. This has also been pointed out by other reviews here, but while it can be taken as a negative aspect, it didn't bother me as much.What really shines through are the performances. Even with as little as they get, they make the most of it. It might only be a couple of people actually on screen, but the movie is interesting (if predictable) enough to keep you occupied with it. I liked the ending, only thing that was really right for the movie, of course.
sgcim i saw this on IFC on demand over my brother's house, and he had made the mistake of watching the preview they have for all of their films. i didn't watch the preview for it so it didn't ruin the film for me, but he said it gave away too much and ruined the mystery element for him, so don't watch the preview. It was a good thriller, not ground-breaking, but it surprised me, and that's what thrillers are supposed to do. AP is starting to age, and she is featured w/out make-up in most scenes, except for the beginning, to reflect her horrible state of mind. She does have a "wasted" look about her without make-up, and there's a good reason why they chose her for "Dead Girl" about ten years ago. *****Spoiler****At the end of the film, she is out of it that it's almost an act of mercy when the other main character slits her throat. So if you're looking for a good thriller with plenty of AP in extremis, this one's for you.
