When he tells his mother in law he's not seeing anyone, I thought "what about the restaurant owner?" When we find out that's his sister-in-law, I was astounded. And his sister's coldness to both him and Helen intrigued me even more.<BR/><BR/>As to the stuff with Rick and his wife: they obviously thought they could make it emotional for us by showing that they've been in love since they were 12. That, however, actually creeped me out. I thought it was weird that the movie thought love could be that strong for prepubescents. But that just strengthened my feeling that weird emotional things were happening.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215810599956933532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497405696268042035.post-8555188916024156132008-08-11T09:17:00.000-04:002008-08-11T09:17:00.000-04:00I modestly enjoyed this one.

As you point out, the mystery is the most engaging part. <BR/><BR/>I was disappointed with the emotional element that the film believed so strongly in. I felt that Alex and his wife were not given enough screen time together at the beginning to generate romantic sympathy. We meet her, she's dead, and now I'm supposed to care that she may be alive. <BR/><BR/>But, all in all, a great thriller that kicks all the American ones to the curb.Evan Derrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717664805927242148noreply@blogger.com
