    Well done over dramatic cliché ....
    I wasn't as disappointed as others here. It was worth the time spent although it started out well as a psychological thriller and then became a cliché with a whole bunch of drama that lacked believability. The acting more powerful than the script demanded which could equate to a waste of talent. But again I don't see things that way. Fine acting is still fine acting whether the characters would show up in real life or remain frozen on a screen which is right where I leave them the moment the credits appear and I don't feel sad saying goodbye to any of them. No spoilers because I think we can see where it's going pretty early on ... Having found what appears more wrong than right, I wasn't bored and I waited until the very end to feel slightly dissatisfied yet anxious to hear what other viewers have to say. That's a good sign.
