Tales of the unexpected

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2006)

A bit surprising how fast Nola (Scarlett Johansson) is introduced at the very beginning of the movie. I found that the story develops with exactly the right pace and always keeps up a certain tension. In addition it always seems that a real story unfolds that at no point obviously leaves from reality into fiction. This movie does not need any kind of extreme exaggeration - must be "typical" British understatement. Together these elements build up a credibility of the occurring events that is in a way frightening. Any part of this movie could happen at any time. I give this movie a very high rating because few movies tend to inspire discussions after watching - this one does.
