Edge of your seat movie, 17 August 2008
9/10
Author: leedoyle from United Kingdom

I really enjoyed this movie. It has some great acting and a fantastic simple story that keeps you glued to the screen.

If you go into this movie wanting just some good acting and great characters then you wont be let down!

Teresa Palmer is superb and definitely one to watch for in the future! She really could work the camera and make you see things without uttering a word.

Travis Fimmel on the other hand was very good but I just found that he was trying to be a Brad Pit wannabe (Is it a bad thing?) but apart from that he was 8/10! It has a good ending that will keep you thinking for a few days after. This is what made it a 9 for me. It was NOT one of them "OH MY GOD I NEVER EXPECTED THAT" type endings... It was just a ending that for me was very unique. It felt more like a horror movie ending (In a good way).

This is a movie I would recommend for lonely night in when you want something interesting to watch.
