Nancy: Hey! How was it? How'd it go?
Miranda Wells: Dr. Cyper's amazing. You'd think he was cutting the crusts off his kid's sandwich.

Could have been much better but still it's not bad

I am just going to rate this movie with a seven because the actors were good. The story itself was not bad and even pleasant to follow. The only thing that I was sad about is that the things that happened in the end should have happened much earlier in the movie to make it more entertaining. You just got to wait too long for those things to happen and I could see it coming from miles away. Nevertheless Rosamund Pike and Shiloh Fernandez gave us good performances, and even the old Nick Nolte was believable in his role. But like I said, it's a pity that the story did not peak in the middle instead of the end. I am sure Return To Sender would have done better with the ratings then. But still it's an okay movie to watch once.
