Heard bad things. Boy were they wrong!

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2005)

Heard nothing but bad things from my coworkers about this film. Just saw it this weekend and I can tell you that I loved it! The cinematography was beautiful and the acting, especially Bryce Howard, was top notch. The thrills or trick ending is not what makes this a great film but the emotional investment that you put into this film and it's great characters is what does the trick. There is a wonderful slow motion scene about half way thru the film that is scary, gorgeously filmed, and exciting all in one. Thru the film I had one big question as to why some of the characters did not realize where they were, but in the last 10 minutes my question was answered and this sealed the deal for me.
