The film started out a little slowly but began to move well. I thought that there was really good chemistry between the two main characters. I liked the film for its well conveyed message about commitment and what it means to care for people. In order to receive you need to give and vice versa. The film used Dickens as a clever vehicle for its plot and it worked for me anyway. I am not saying the film is a classic but it was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours and I definitely would recommend it to people I know. I thought that the acting was terrific and the characters were well developed. I think the film is definitely worth seeing.

I must admit this film kept me on the edge of my seat, because I could not wait to get up and leave. This preposterous and ponderous "thriller" is extremely well acted. It would have to be to make up for a totally unbelievable and convoluted plot. I really love movies that drop seemingly righteous characters in just to end up as a surprise villain. I for one was shocked at the turn of events. I also love attempted killings in parking lot scenes because you never know what will happen when it is dark and the hero has to walk alone to his car. I was so surprised at the twists and turns!!! It is amazing how an efficient killer can turn so incompetent all of a sudden. The best part of the film was when the credits rolled.
