Intriguing but overlong

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 2007)

Fantastic plotting and some fairly solid acting is spoiled only by poor editing in this very traditional Hitchcock thriller.
The storyline is a fascinating one about an ex-detective who suffers from acrophobia, but comes out of retirement to help a friend who is concerned about his wife's health. Unfortunately the whole movie is far too drawn out and takes too long to get anywhere at all. If it were a little faster paced it would have been a real edge of the seat thriller.
Still, the plot twists are bound to surprise the average viewer, and fans of the master won't be disappointed, or at least not too much.
