A Complex Thriller

Awesome thriller, though you'll have to pay attention to the story and you'll have to draw your conclusion about the story and the motivation for the actions of the characters as everything is not explained.

Avan Jogia who plays the ex convict aka Danny Miller nailed the part and at times he was sinister, vulnerable and cunning in order to achieve what he wanted to and Josh Charles who played the psychiatrist did an excellent job too but Julia Stiles was barely in the movie.
