    Not to bad !A Koettbullen Review!

    Saw this film with my friend when it came on DVD and i liked it, i cared about the characters and the movie kept me interested till the end. The acting was not the best, but still not that bad as every reviewer says.

    If your looking for a movie like The Dark Knight, your at the wrong place. But if you are searching for a entertaining thriller, meet "While She was out"

    Still, everyone have different tastes on movies, and you shouldn't listen to any reviewers, not even me. Go and rent the movie (or download it :S) and see for yourself.
