Looking at the cast and after the first 15 minutes of the film, I really thought this film was going to be a gripping classic, sadly it went down hill quickly from there. The plot twisted and turned but quickly unravelled as it did and went from good thriller to obvious outcome with a ridiculous story line to it.
The acting is good and the pace of the film is not bad but that's about all the plus points I can find, which is a shame after the start.
