For all those who dismiss Holywood's ability to produce real class, and I admit I sometimes fall into this trap, this movie does much to undermine that all-to-easy to make allegation. There were real unpredictable twists and turn, a constant building of tension and a very intelligent narrative that made this utterly gripping.

In short, Hitchcock would be proud of Paul Haggis' body of work including this latest offering (yeah, I said it!). Just watch it. Immediately.

Thats a great movie, so smart and exciting. Kept you guessing right up until the end and in my opinion was never boring.
