It's extremely manipulative, some scenes make little sense, character development is weak, absurd coincidences abound, and the ending leaves the audience hanging cruelly. Nevertheless, "When Strangers Appear" keeps moving along and does maintain interest. It's just a little too cute for it's own good, and in the final analysis acceptable entertainment but nothing more. One last point, none of the characters are likable, including the heroine. If you want to watch a much better twisty movie which at least makes sense, and is far more entertaining, I highly recommend "Clay Pidgeons", with Jaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn. - MERK
