User Reviews

Don't read all the reviews with spoilers

Seriously, why do people write reviews just to spoil the whole movie?

I thought the movie was the standard done to death "Strangers On A Train" which I have actually seen and recommend. It is the original after all. This one has women for the central characters and a love triangle of sorts thrown in for good measure. Good eventually triumphs over evil and everyone does get what's coming to them, but who gets what and who gets who, you have watch to see. Unless of course you read all the various spoiler reviews. I thought it was worth watching because it was different and I'm sick to death of predictable movies.
