Goofs

In the 32nd minute Ellen is drinking after Clayton has left. The bottle's label reads (indescernable word) and 'vodka.' Below that, is the brand name in Russian characters. For a western market, the brand name would appear above the word 'vodka.'

User Reviews

Kinda confused lol

I am a big fan of thrillers, so I decided to watch this movie. I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but it could have been better. Madeleine's performance was okay. She was to play a blind woman, so I didn't expect too much from her. The movie was a little too slow paced for me though. After reaching the midpoint of the film, I could tell what the end plot of the story would be. Very predictable. There are also many unanswered questions and details that did not add to the story at all. I was quite interested in finding out what the plot was, so for that, I'll give it a 6.
