First half=boring Second half=great

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2009)

Now i must warn you that the first half of this film is an chore to get through. In fact i was thinking of turning the damn thing off but if you keep on watching , the film begins to pick up the pace and the plot becomes more diverse . This not the best thriller every but it contains its own original twist. The setting is perfect. An motel placed in the middle of nowhere. The director captures the atmosphere well with the constant raining and lightning adding more of an effect. Sure these two elements are always being used but there nothing wrong with that.
The actors carry out there roles reasonable well. there no exceptional performance from anyone but you don't expect that from this type of film. Now for the twist, a lot of people struggle to understand it. Personally , it not all to complicated to follow. If you know about split personalities then the conclusion shouldn't be to hard to understand.
Some negatives is that the ending is easily predictable. It doesn't keep you guessing but instead wondering if the whole plot ties together. Also there no artistic value to it. When you are told of what is really happening you will begin to wonder if the director could of added more depth to the world rather than basing it in another typical world .
But still the film is enjoyable to watch and one which you'll be talking about after it finishes. The first half is rather boring but the second half comes to life . If you love thrillers then this is an film for you
