Watch Return to Sender For Free

Brilliant and touching

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I was enjoying the movie quite a bit to be honest. Even after the weird stuff with her letting him work on her house, I was like...this is going to be good! WRONG!!!! The scene with him on the gurney was a bust. There's blood on his wrist area and she said something that lead me to believe she cut off his hand. Then he looks under the blanket and I am assuming she cut off his manhood. Somewhere in all this she tells the guy that she killed her dads dog which was how she figured out how much poison she would need for him. Then when he tells her not to leave him to die she tells the guy "I let my mom die...." So by the end of it all, I really didn't care that she was raped because she seemed like a dang psycho who was waiting for something to set her off; I found myself kind of angry about it because it almost was written so one wouldn't feel bad for this woman having been raped. And when she was talking to her dad and the screen went black, I thought it was going to into a 1 month later kind of thing, but no it just ended. Boo!!

I'm sitting here having watched 'Return to Sender' and I genuinely don't know what to think. I'm not even sure whether I enjoyed it or not. I could justify giving it a '3' and I could equally justify giving it a '9'. It's my kind of movie first of all. I love the 'revenge' genre. This is an odd case of that genre though. In fact I wasn't even sure it was that type of movie until 4/5 of the way through, despite the movie poster heavily implying it. It's not a particularly well made movie, at least technically. The sound engineering is poorly done in certain scenes. Every scene involving the prison phones is incredibly hard to hear the dialogue in. It chops in and out and is often inaudible. The story is choppy and alienates the audience at times by leaving them clueless as to what the point of this all is. And yet through all this, I was having a pretty good time watching it (I think).Rosamund Pike is a very fine actress and has the chops to carry a movie (as she proved in 'Gone Girl'). She's again pretty good here, and with a stronger script could have accomplished a performance on par with her one in 'Gone Girl' (the two roles are actually strikingly similar). It's hard to explain exactly what an odd experience 'Return to Sender' is to someone who hasn't seen it. Would I recommend this film for someone to watch? I'm still not entirely sure. The only thing I can say is watch it to see what I mean.

I just stumbled on this movie while looking for something interesting to watch the other day. I really liked this movie. I think what really made this movie work was the performance put in by Rosamund Pike. She really pulled me into the storyline. I liked the way the movie kept us guessing as to what she was up to, or if she was up to anything at all. This woman is really a great actress. I thought she was amazing in "Gone Girl" as well. She has the sociopath character down pat. I honestly thought some of the other actors in this movie paled in comparison to Rosamund's performance, but all in all they did a decent job to keep the suspense going. I didn't even realize it was Nick Nolte who played her father until the end. Hard to believe Nick Nolte is that old now. Bottom line is that I think this is a very good drama/suspense movie with really good acting by the main character.

This movie is probably the most accurate depiction of a sociopath ever created on the big screen. Miranda Wells, ingeniously depicted by the famous "Gone Girl" star Rosamund Pike, a nurse in a local hospital, who is a bit odd, but an all around nice person, gets horribly raped by a no good small time criminal William Finn. But, surprisingly enough, instead of hating on Finn, Miranda visits him in prison, and even hires him to fix her porch... then she drugs him, locks him in her basement, tortures him and probably kills him, revealing previously to that that she have let her mother die, and that she enjoys hospital work because it allows her to inflict pain on patients while treating them (much in a fashion of a dentist in "The Little Shop of Horrors" musical).Miranda Wells is probably the most accurate depiction of a sociopath ever created on film. Her Oscar-worthy acting in Return to Sender very well answers the question of why people almost never suspect a sociopath serial killer until the body count goes up way too high. With no offense to Anthony Hopkins performance in the series about the psychologist gone murderer, real psychopathic serial killers rarely act like Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs in real life - they are much more likely to look like Miranda: likable, charming, a bit odd, but nothing more. The movie portrays all these qualities in a very subtle, very cinematic fashion, which works very well: it allows the viewer to profile Miranda, like a detective, which makes "Return to Sender" that much more great of a thriller. We know something is coming, but we would never see it. This is why sociopaths are so dangerous, and "Return to Sender" does a grade A job at explaining it.
