    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During the shooting of this film, Daniel Craig (Will Atenton) and Rachel Weisz (Libby) met and started dating. Their relationship was publicly announced several months later. They married in a discreet ceremony. When asked about the movie, Craig said, "The movie didn't turn out great. But I met my wife. Fair trade."
    • Goofs
      In the diner where Will is asking the police officers about the murders, the front shot of the officers is flipped as indicated by the text on the menu in the background as well as the seating of the officers switching between shots. That's because it's being seen through the mirror behind the counter at the diner.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Medlin: Alright, now I want to show you something I showed you earlier. From five years ago.

      [plays back CCTV recording showing a violent, crazed man turning to face the camera]

      Will Atenton: [shocked pause] That's not... Peter Ward. That's... that's me.

      Dr. Medlin: You lived in this institution for five years, Peter.

      Will Atenton: No. Um... that's, that's ridiculous. I... I'm not Peter Ward. I'm Will Atenton.

      Dr. Medlin: That's the name you gave yourself. W1-1L becomes Will. The numbers 8-10-10 become Atenton. Will Atenton.

    9/10
    Y'all crazy, it's good.
    Am I the only one that really liked this movie? Am I the only one that thought it was insanely clever, with a sick double-twist ending? Maybe not, but from the other reviews it seems like I'm one of the few! I agree with the other review - I watched this because I thought it was a horror movie, and it is much more of a psychological creepy awesome movie. But it's good, enough said.

    Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are great, enough said.

    Written really well, and directed well. Once you think 'ah, nice, cliché, I see the ending' - nope! Give it a shot, it's a really great movie. I feel like with a few modifications it could've been even better, on par with The Sixth Sense, but it was still great. I'd watch it again.
