Nonureva Really Surprised!
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
kosmasp Not just anybody ... or maybe anybody is the answer? It's overall a shame, because there are a few nice things/themes in this, but nothing really holds or sticks. Many strands are left open and I guess that ending is supposed to make some sort of sense (?) - though to be honest it is laid out neatly - in a way where you go "yeah let's do it, I know what's coming".But is that enough? Especially when you have those over the top performances contradicting more layered ones. Or attempts of layered and nuanced performances that is. It's also a waste of some of the talent involved or at least it feels like it. I would not recommend this, but then again tastes are different, so either try the trailer or watch the first 20 minutes and you'll know
pafrisco This is a Hitchcock type movie.. Keeps you guessing. One of the best edge of your seat movies!
reb-warrior The premise sounded interesting. A boy that went to jail for committing a murder as a child, Danny, shows up years later in the life of the therapist who gave testimony. He insist he never did it.However none of the characters act the way they should given their profession. They act all worried and obsessed about this person they view as a charming kid. There are hints from conversations between Tom, the prosecutor, and the parole officer that some kind of cover-up or rail-road might have occurred. More conversations seem to indicate a secret. But nope. That never happened. That part of the story kind of just went away. Tom seems to wonder if maybe the kid is really guilty. Later it's revealed to the audience, that it's stupid for him to wonder since he has a video recording from his therapy sessions with Danny when he was a child. On it, Danny says exactly what happened. So why the hell was Tom wondering anything? Or why did the prosecutor wonder later if he was innocent. He must have seen the video at the time. Man, so stupid.The actor that played Tom, gave a lot of constipated expressions. Danny the killer was manipulative. How anyone could trust this creep or think he was charming is beyond me. The ending makes no sense.This movie is about nothing. Skip it.
strawberrydaiquiri-05361 Either this movie sucks, or I didn't understand one bit of it.I kept waiting for something to happen... Some event that would clear things up... but it never came.The characters weren't particularly likable and their true motivations were never revealed. somehow i'm still thinking I might have missed something. they couldn't just have pasted together a story with random people doing insignificant things, right?wrong?
