It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Psychologist Tom Seymour (Josh Charles) saves Danny Miller (Avan Jogia) from drowning and later realizes Danny was the 11-yr old that his psycho analysis helped put Danny in prison for killing an elderly woman. Danny got an early release and blames Tom for ruining his life. The problem now is that Danny keeps showing up everywhere Tom and his wife Lauren (Julia Stiles) happen to be. We keep thinking that Tom will re-look at the case to see if he missed something 10 Years ago because Danny keeps saying he never killed anyone. Tom checks with the lawyer who helped prosecute Danny. Danny is now known as Ian. Lauren is smitten with Ian and this disturbs Tom and he isn't sure what to do, but doesn't tell Lauren his concerns about Ian um .. Danny. We sometimes think that Lauren isn't too supportive of Tom, but she doesn't know what he is going through.Notables: John C. McGinley as Teddy the lawyer who prosecuted Danny 10-Years ago; Robert Clohessy as Danny's father.Production-wise and the acting all around are very good and we become like Tom . wary of everything. The twist in here isn't really a twist, but more a solution to Tom's problem. Wait for it, but this is slow going because the script sends Tom (and us) in many directions. Be patient and you will be rewarded as we were. So wait for it. Ha! (7/10)Violence; Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.
Possibly the worst film ever made. Poor plot, poor script and unrealistic characters and behaviours. Avoid. The fact that I have to write five lines about this drivel offends me, but if it means that someone else doesn't waste 90 minutes of their life watching it then I guess it is worth it.
The opening was tedious and predictable.................then the movie got worse. I suspect most viewers could have written this story in their sleep as we have all seen a version of this movie over and over again. The characters are ALL unlikable and frankly I wonder why? Shouldn't we care a little if the main characters are in danger? Really bad script, direction, story.
Have you ever had that sinking feeling? You know the one. You have had a long day at work. The boss or your colleagues have given you a hard time and you just want to curl up on the sofa and watch a horror film. You arrange the lighting, maybe start some popcorn on the hob or some chocolate treats for the inevitable interval when you have to go to the bathroom. You switch off your phone and settle down to be entertained. And THEN the REAL horror begins! After the establishing shots of 'the two obviously heterosexual materially successful couple' doing their obligatory walk surrounded by each other on the beach someone does the dirty and shatters all their dreams. Then they slurp each others' mouths and just when you thought THAT was the ultimate horror you discover that your remote-control has somehow managed to slip down inside the sofa and you spend frantic minutes attempting to retrieve it before you hear another excruciating line of 'dialogue' from this abysmal excuse for film-making. Oh the HORROR indeed!
