Did you know
- TriviaMorgan, in its opening weekend, couldn't even crack the weekend top ten after an estimated $615,000 on the Friday it was released in the US, from 2,020 theaters, heading toward a three-day weekend around $1.8 million and a four-day weekend around $2.3 million. It ended up being one of the worst openers of the summer and one of the worst openings for a film debuting in over 2,000 theaters. The film was subsequently pulled from theatres after 2 and a half weeks.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, during the recording that Lee hears, Dr. Shapiro's first name is Ben, however, in the credits it's Alan.

Good movie - worth watching
After reading many of the reviews (good and bad), I have decided that until IMDb offers the service to select favourite reviewers, that this will be the last review I write. I do this because there are reviewers who wouldn't know a phone was up their rear end, even if it rang. But I retire mainly because there are reviewers who just don't have my tastes in movies, and there are those that do. I only want to read the reviews of those that like most of the films I like. Then if the majority of them say a movie is OK, it is likely I will agree. And vica versa. Therefore I am wasting my time writing reviews for people who don't have my tastes in movies.
This is a very good film - period. By all and any measures. The direction is exactly what needed to be done for this movie - the acting is very good - and the sound is also right. This is not a movie for a star to grace the stage with their brilliance (or several) - it is a solid example of the craft of 'old school' suspense/action movies.
It is clear from watching this movie after reading many reviews, that this is far too 'intelligent' a movie for many reviewers. There is a level of understanding that requires the viewer to think. I guess too many Marvel action movies have dumbed them down, and made them demand clear and concise sequencing and plot development.
Over and out - until I can read the reviews of my favourite reviewers.
