* Minimal Spoiler*
It's hard to even think of discussing this film without revealing the twists, but the movie is good. For the first third or so, it keeps trying to make you guess which genre it is...first serious mystery, then grown-up slasher film, then it gets farcical and you realize something must be up. I saw it with no clue what the main storyline was, but even after you figure it out, it's entertaining to see how it unfolds. I especially like Amanda Peet in this role, but John Cusack does a great job too, as always. He must do nothing but read scripts...he's finding lots of them that are not the same old thing.
