I just watched this movie without knowing the cast, except James Cosmo from Braveheart. i wasn't expecting much about this movie since i never heard anything about it, and i thought it would be another meaningless thriller. and i was wrong.
This movie is about a young girl who came back to her estranged family after got amnesia in motorcycle accident.
Sure, there was "to good to be true moment", when a family with some revenge agenda suddenly got their perfect moment ( a daughter from a man that raped your wife, go back home to you and got an amnesia, how could it be made up?), but the bad things ended up just there. at the very beginning we got introduced to the family , everything just didn't feel right, but the movies reveals its darkest secret in perfect pace. not in a rush.
I watched movie like this before, like The Visit. but, the different was, i just know that they aren't her family, because this movie didn't try to hide it. but, what best is their motives and twist (the ending was awesome), and how all of this is provided to audience. the acting is surprisingly good, especially James Cosmo, who could deliver intense performance, and i think be one of stand out factor.
i enjoyed this movie, it is worth to watch.
