Quotes

[first lines]
Dr. Kathy Grieff: [enters the holding cell] Hi, darling. It's me. I thought we'd have lunch together today. Oh, angel, you look sad. You know, it's a very, very natural thing. It's actually a very human thing to feel sad. But emotions aren't bad.
Dr. Kathy Grieff: I'm sorry, baby. I'm still trying to get them to change their mind and let you out for a little bit.
Dr. Kathy Grieff: [Morgan suddenly lunges at her and begins stabbing her] No! Get off! No! Oh, god!

User Reviews

Waste of a good idea

The idea was great and the casting seemed to be a success with names like Paul Giamatti, Rose Leslie and Kate Mara . But the story.. Oh boy. You could guess every single turn of the movie and the ending was so obvious. The idea and the psychological side of characters would have got so much more to give, but that all was ruined with the thin plot. Waste of time.
