When I first watched this I thought nothing of it, but then I watched it a second time and actual enjoyed the film. The tone is very serious as this thriller takes you into a mystery murder scenario. The acting is what truly brings the film to light, Cate Blachett is at the heart of the movie, her facial expression, especially the emotions in her eyes, bring each scene to life. The other actors such as Giovanni Ribisi, Keanu Reeves, Hilary Swank and Greg Kinnear were also very good performances. The story and filming isn't an Oscer winner and it's not a movie I would call my favorite, but if you're looking for a thriller with some great familiar actors that will not disappoint then this is your film.
