Thrilling entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2009)

I was in the mood for a film like this, a look at how one person's number sequence led Nic Cage to an alarming prophecy. The tension is palpable especially towards the end. Well worth viewing, it is Cage at his chilling best.
Cage stares into the unknown, and gives one of his best performances. I also liked Rose Byrne as the leading lady. The child of her character looks amazingly similar, I wonder if she is related?
Finally, the special effects are incredible. The film does rely on the spectacular effects but not as a substitute for poor acting, it highlights the extreme circumstances in the film.
