When they first meet her there seems to be an connection between Esther and Kate and John and they decide to adopt her. But what happens in coming weeks they could never expect. When they discover that Esther totally someone else that she claims to be things are going terribly wrong.
It is not very often, that you see young actors or actresses on a very young age with very much acting skills. Isabelle Fuhrman is one of those young actresses who can. In this film she delivers an outstanding performance of a girl who is not who she claims to be. She is actually playing two roles. One role is an innocent girl who has lost so much and everything seems to be against her, so she is in the beginning very likable. But the other role is the murderer she actually is. Then there is the fact that she is no 9-year old girl at all but a mid 30- year old women. And delivering a performance like this is outstanding. The film includes good character development and the issues all the characters have are represented very good on screen.
I think this film is such a wonderful thriller and it actually tells me that you should never trust someone to easy. But the problem I had with the film was the ending. Because what happened with Kate and John's son Daniel ? has he made it or did he die ? What happened to Kate after the accident, because of John's death ? these answers were never answered and I think they should have ended with this, now it was a more open ending and it gives the audience the idea that it is not over yet. I give this film the following rating because of the strong script, and the wonderful acting.
7/10.
