Cracking good Hollywood thriller.

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2004)

Its opening credits are Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal, then it goes on to introduce us to the main action Memento-style, then gives up the gimmick and goes Psycho, establishing a "phones are down and we're stuck here in the storm" type deal, where it sits comfortably, until at one point it becomes a slasher. Also like Memento, it keeps coming back to a second storyline, the Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal Psychiatrist character, who is separated from the Bates Motel storyline.
After this, however, it goes on to become a cracking good thriller. Just go with it.
John Cusack is notably good as stone-faced ex-cop Ed.
John C McGinley turns in another vibrant character part, this time it varies from the character he played in Platoon and TV's Scrubs, and is a nervous / compulsive little man (who is admittedly lots of fun, but his constant sarcasm does tend to wear thin).
