    • Trivia
      The movie plot has a very strong resemblance to the Italian movie "La ragazza nella nebbia" (literally "the girl in the fog"). It looks like an American remake of it, but with a different ending.
    • Goofs
      When Evan opens the wine, he never twists the corkscrew into the bottle.
    • Quotes

      Malloy: Take this little problem here on your board. The answer seems pretty plain to me.

      Evan Birch: Does it? Well, be my guest. Prove this chair exists.

      Malloy: What chair?

    Almost A Good Mystery
    A college student Joyce Bonner (Odeya Rush) goes missing and police detective Malloy (Pierce Brosnan) keys in on Philosophy professor Evan Birch (Guy Pearce) who is known to have affairs with students.

    This really needed more suspects, but we have only one and I couldn't make up my mind if he was guilty or not. He acted so innocent and uncaring that I thought it couldn't be him. Yet, maybe that is what they wanted me to think. Yet there was no one else. His wife Ellen (Minnie Driver) was coming to believe their 5-yrs ago in another town was closing in on her and she doesn't want to move again.

    Detective Malloy tells Professor Evan that they both have something in common: they both seek the truth.

    I liked Pierce Brosnan as the detective and kind of hope he will do more of this kind of character in other movies. Hey, we need a good guy in movies once in a while. I just couldn't read Guy Pearce as the professor as everything told me he was innocent............yet.........there was no one else.

    Notables: Alexandra Shipp as Ana, a student who had some kind of history with the professor; Clark Gregg as Paul, Evan's lawyer.

    The title indicates a spinning man, but Evan wasn't shown spinning any which way. Yes, he may have felt the spinning inside. The last scene shows the mouse the family caught spinning on a wheel. Kind of contrived I thought.

    Will you be surprised when you see the ending? I was. (5/10)

    Violence: No. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Yes, near the end. Rating: C
