Entertaining through a bit unmemorable

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2016)

This is a fun little mystery-thriller with a big twist. In an odd coincidence, it's basically the imaginary twist a writer comes up with in the movie Adaptation. In that movie, the twist is mocked as the ultimate in cheap Hollywood filmmaking, but I liked the twist when described and I liked it here as well.
The film is well directed and acted, keeping viewers guessing and creating a good deal of suspense. The twist is nicely inset.
The weird thing is, I saw this movie a few years ago, but I rewatched it because I forgot I'd seen it. And even as I watched it, none of it seemed familiar, only I knew some things in advance of their reveal. Anyway, I knew I'd seen that movie-with-the-same-twist-from-Adaptation before.
Basically, it's a nice little B movie with some clever touches, some logic issues, and a rather dumb final five minutes.
