Too much of everything
Pretty Good
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
this movie was supposed to be suspenseful? it was more like a comedy to me!! ice-t's performance was laughable, and so was the director's/editor's. there were tons of problems with scenes: when daniel and susanne are in his car and she's topless, the next second we see her with her top again and him trying to get it off (even though he already did it!); after they've had sex in the basement and daniel is putting his shirt on, the next shot it's off again and directly after that it's back on. how could they miss that?! also, almost every angle when cutting from character to character is off. it doesn't match at all and it's really obvious.whoever wrote this script is really awful too. what was the deal with ice-t's lines? "shut up stupi'! you foo!" the only good part of this movie was justin theroux (daniel), who didn't even make it on the cover box yet he has more of a major role than ice-t. he really deserves better movies than this, he's a wonderful actor and it's sad that he had to stoop this low. check out american psycho if you want to see him in a really GOOD movie!
Most smart people will wince at the terrible screenplay and directing.The only thing going for this movie is the beauty of Alyssa Milano and she also delivers a good performance.Ice-T does his usual reliable routine but it is sad to see him desperately taking worse and worse B movie offers lately.He should try to learn more from Ice Cube who seems to be getting great movies.Ice-T is just as talented,maybe even more versatile than Cube!Watch this movie only if you are a big fan of Milano and do not expect too much.Some Ice-T fans may be disappointed......
Insipid plot, exquisitely bad acting, and a climax that drags on long after one loses interest. The only redeeming feature of this movie is that it showcases Alyssa Milano's lovely face. In short, the 2 hours required to view this movie could easily be invested in more gainful and rewarding pursuits.
I did not find the supposed plot twist in this movie a twist at all. I figured out who the bad guys were very early on in the movie. The only thing I was uncertain about was whether the character was actually the culprit or whether the acting was just inappropriate and made him/her look like the bad guy; it turns out the acting was quite appropriate. Anyway, I found this movie very obvious and unthrilling, and Susanne's (I was very impressed to see they spelled her name the same way as mine, as it is a rare spelling- bonus points) reluctance to use violence even when her own life was on the line was kind of frustrating. Still, most of the acting was decent, especially considering some of the stupid things people had to say or do. Uncle Whoever's confession was extremely melodramatic and did not seem to have much relevance to the story, unless I missed something. Basically this movie was an unsuspenseful suspense and I do not recommend it to anyone except to the many Alyssa Milano fans out there.
