the movie got a fairly hefty 6.4 here on IMDb but should at least be a 7 in my humble opinion. The only people who are not going to enjoy this movie and trash it are people who are too full of themselves and people who compare this to the Hitchcock greats or the great mystery suspense movies of our time. That is a sign of respect for the movie itself, if those critics are calling it bad cause they compared it to those all- time greats then it for sure has to be a decent flick.
I just want to say that as soon as the movie started, I was hooked and the movie didn't let up til the credits were rolling. All through the movie i was giddy and didn't want the movie to end...that's how good the movie was in my opinion. It's smart, well paced, tension filled and it kept me guessing right up til the end. Too bad these types of movies will not get any consideration come Oscar time.
The casting of the leads were perfect for this movie...it featured one of my favorite male actors in the universe, a Mr. Mark Strong as the protagonist and hero and a newcomer with some major acting clout in Taissa Farmiga, and if the last name sounds familiar, she is the younger sister of another A list actress and also one of my favorites...a person by the name of Vera Farmiga, and oh...the last major lead is a particular Mr. Brian Cox who was also very very good in and for this movie. The scoring and the cinematography were also world class in this movie.
To give out any hints about this movie just would not be fair to the people reading this and who are interested in watching this movie. Lets just say that Mark Strong can enter peoples minds and see into their past and leave it at that. STOP!READING!THIS!REVIEW!ALREADY!&GO!WATCH!THIS!MOVIE!
