I am a big fan of Naomi Watts, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz so I was pretty interested when I saw them all together in this movie. I was just surprised that they decided to do a thriller considering their thespic gifts, especially the two women.
Well, the movie unravels slowly in the first hour, which keeps you riveted, for a while. But soon as the pieces are being put together, the suspense peters out a bit - and you find out - that the cause of it all was something detached from the main characters. It disappointed me a bit since all the earlier scenes was pointing into a big finale - which came but it was not big or dramatic. It was more of sad really - and tragic. Weird thing is, this is something I see everyday in my favorite CIS (Crime and Investigation Channel).
Well, you can sit this out and just buy the DVD or wait for it in HBO. It's a case of wasted talent, even for the director, Jim Sheridan, who is another great auteur. But not for this one.
