 | I don't particularly care for mind games but this had a sudtlety? that was easy to miss.
Richard, as a moneyed playboy, and Justin who was just too brilliant were bored with life as they knew it. Their dependence on each other to spice things up led me to wonder if the girlfriend was be a next victim.
Hard-nosed Cassie was still having problems with her own past which surely colored her treatment of her male partners. Even her seduction scene showed her twisted idea of how to handle a man.
Her new partner, San [or Sam], let himself get seduced only once and then showed some backbone the next time. But they showed professional respect for each other as they tracked down this random? murderer.
Justin and Richard were great in their acting - they were just short of repulsive, in looks and attitudes.
The backgrounds had plenty of color and I loved the opening scene in the high-cliff cottage.
Not too bad - just a little bit on the dark side, mentally.

| I love Sandra Bullock and I thought this movie was great. Even though we know who does it the whole time, I like how everything unfolds at the end.
The only thing I didn't like was how they tied in Bullock's character's difficulties with men due to her own tragic experiences. In order to keep this aspect of the movie without making it a major turn-off, the film makers could have left out the love scene. It was not necessary. |

| Sandra Bullock does a great job of playing a detective looking for a murderer. The clues are a bit to neat to suit her and she begins to look deeper. This movie was borderline Hitchcock style murder mystery and very smoothly done. Just a little stronger acting by Ben Chaplin and Ryan Gosling and it would have been a major hit. They do a good job but they are not the caliber of Ed Norton in "Primal Fear". If they were they would have got at least oscar nominations if not awards. I still think they turn in fine performances and were not appreciated. I personally think the whole movie was underrated. I think it improves with additional viewings. You begin to truly appreciate the performances and the story. A Hitchcock air about it that makes you think of "The Rope" and "Vertigo". I bought the DVD and I recommend it. Most fans of movies like "Kiss the Girls" and "Along Came a Spider" will enjoy it. |

| I was very excited to order this movie as I loved it when I first saw it. However, I was looking for the widescreen version and ended up finding this. The description of the disc tells you that it is widescreen but when you click on the picture it says FULL screen version. Be careful if you prefer widescreen to full screen and always double check the descriptions with the actual photos. |
