Taught psychological thriller

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2010)

I was surprised at the number of negative reviews of this film. A number of people mentioned the trailer, which I had not seen, and spotting the twist early on. I find that I usually spot twist early on but I did not see this one coming at all - so I guess it is not that obvious. As for the trailer I cannot comment because I came to the film without a preconceived view.
I thought the film maintained a high level of tension throughout - I was watching this in the dark with earphones on when my wife came up to me and touched my arm - I nearly leapt out of my skin.
The acting was first rate - thoroughly believable.
Overall, I thought a good 7.5.
