Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2006)

This wasn't as good as I thought it would be and I guess that is all on me. Despite the performance of Radha Mitchell this movie just took too long in-between scenes. Don't get me wrong, there are some moments that I thought were intense, but just not enough of them. And there is just too many things that don't make sense. Between what the husband and wife characters were doing, it was as if you were watching two different movies and they leave way too many things unexplained. I haven't played the video game and perhaps that is where my knowledge is lacking. But one shouldn't have to play the game in order for the film to be coherent. It just miss the boat, but barely. It had potential, to quote Marlon Brando, it "could have been a contender".
