I was surprised by the low ratings here. I liked this film for its suspense and dialogue. It is a quiet play, not a high-strung thriller. The slow revelations about loss, commonality and revenge were well done. Scott Speedman, perpetual hunk, was good in his portrayal of the drifter with a past. Patricia Clarkson was a good choice for the role. She lent credibility to the events by her adept pacing and subtle emoting. Tim Roth as a cockney creep was a pleasant bonus. A moody film, not for the viewer who needs explosions and graphic violence. The climax builds slowly and is worth waiting for. The denouement was moving and offered a ray of humanity to a dark view of human nature.
