let go straight for the twist and it good . i do not guess it at all . well that not true and i do guess it and but when youre point in every direction then you will end up wonder about every possibility . you see in a thriller that try to surprise you mis direction play a huge part and and in this movie they turn from the traditional idea of take you in one direction only to whip you back in the opposite direction . what they do be not to take you away in one direction and they point you in just about every possible one so you have no idea which could be right . i love this . it very clever . the hint be go and youre leave totally guess . yet it do have a negative affect . when the revelation come there not a big moment of surprise and and i think it because you have not be lead too far from the truth and because youre point in multiple direction you haven not be take that far away to be whip back to the surprise . there also a bit of confusion in the moment of that revelation too and visually it not clear enough until the final moment and i do feel that ( without give it away ) if they would film it a bit more open and recognisable you would have have a much long time of the surprise than the short moment that you end up with . the end though be intense and the final scene with the girl and the flashing torch really do get to me and it be one of these scene i will bring up when i be ask about the creepy moment in cinema . there be a number of star in it and another nice misdirection ploy . fanning be stun in this movie . she give a performance that i have rarely see in adult actor . totally unnerving and amazingly creepy . i haven not find de niro a convincing actor in a long time and and not belong in the class that he have be place in on the merit of his previous work . now this be my view and yours may differ and but in this movie although he do give a good performance and it not to the level of fan . there a degree of distance about the character de niro play and and he seem inaccessible and a problem i feel when he play a father . janssen be absolutely gorgeous and and to boot she the second best actor in the movie . her portrayal of fear be utterly convincing and and she show without a doubt she much more than an x woman . shue be another beautiful actress and but unfortunately she be very under use and her character unexplored . it do feel a though she add for a simple plot vehicle and this too can be say for the equally strong performance of baker and another missed performance . the rest of the movie be set at a really good pace and although at time it seem against the building of the story and some of the character . yet the pace keep up and doesn not give you either time to settle with a possible suspect or to settle at all . youre continually question and fool and and all the time the movie be reel you in step by step . picture represent 2 . 40 represent1 there a slightly off green tinge to the picture throughout the movie and something that at time be quite distract . forget this the picture be sharp and the colour strong and autumnal and and particularly well do during the night time scene outside . audio represent dd5 . 1 \ dts the dts soundtrack be very sharp and and one would expect that it could easily be overuse and however it not . it very subtle but the audio do make use of the full range of the speaker to help in unnerve the audience . extra present represent alternative ending and audio commentary and making of and delete scene with commentary and pre visualisation sequence and commentary the alternative ending be very interesting and and more so because i think the perfect end for the movie be one of these and not the end use in the theatrical version . they be all available to watch a a complete movie and or on their own and and each carry with an commentary from the director and writer and director of photography . it interest to hear the maker take on the different ending and and how they can not even agree which be the good . it interest that the scene i think be the good end be the original end to the movie and but then those dreaded test screening prove it too dark . wrong . the commentary itself be good and very incisive and but it more about the process of how to keep the tension building and the focus away from the revelation . it really annoy the way they talk over each other and continually say you know . no and i do not and it for you to tell me and that why i be listen . they talk of the different draft through the writing and filming process and as well a the actor and their process . it very interest to hear the process of de niro act . however through all this there be a huge feeling that the maker be more concerned about how to create an engaging thriller and and the rule of make a scary and hidden twist of a film . so you do come away with the feeling that they make a perfect and by the number thriller and but leave out a lot of soul and feeling . overall it a very good thriller with an excellent unseen twist and yet i do not feel it delivered . for all the build up for a moment of realisation just seem a shame . add to that the fact that one of the poorer ending be choose for the theatrical movie and the chance of a twist big than that of the main movie be miss . a hugely impressive performance from fan with some excellent support role make for a really watchable movie .
