Dark and well crafted

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

Hitchcock is everywhere in this film. Perhaps that's what makes it a quality film. Once again, we have proof in our hands that there's no need for violence or gore to shock the audience. Tension is built gradually, while some angles and cuts increase the adrenaline levels. All the actors deliver memorable performances and, having been cast by true experts, embody perfectly their characters. The plot flows smoothly, except some necessary elements that lead to the grand finale. I think this film will eventually stand the test of time and will be considered a true masterpiece of the genre!
