4/10

A distorted movie with surprising twist at the end that still doesn't help it.

The movie had a semi original plot ,, i really had high hopes for it ,, seeing Christina Ricci out there ... but still even with a surprising twist at the end ,, the movie didn't really deliver and in short was not good ... at all .

Christina Ricci did a fine job, even John Cusack gave me a glims of hope but the script was way off .. and was so disconnected .. had a lot of gaps even with all of these flashbacks and distorted images which were suppose to highlight the thrill element ..all were just a blank shots.

Final though ,, i think one of the main problems is Arne Olsen was away from writing for almost 8 years so he did not really rise to the occasion and trying to patch it up with Rob King directing didn't do much help... Not recommended-.

What was the name of that song they kept playing throughout this movie? I'm usually good at "name that tune", but can't place this one. There are no soundtrack credits at the end, either.
