This slow, dull, pointless "suspense" picture offers Naomi Watts, who still retains some of the beauty she exhibited as recently as "King Kong" (2005) and "Eastern Promises" (2007), but that doesn't justify this turkey. The production values are good as befits a picture with a star and one supposes this screenplay was greenlighted when she came aboard, for the same reason that most politicians win elections: name recognition. Charlie Heaton is well cast as the young maniac, but some big moments are stuff like having Watts' blood pressure found to be too high, sipping wine, sipping coffee, sighing, and resting.
