Hi Guys, saw this movie yesterday and you're probably wondering why. Well, I recently met a new movie buddy and this was her first choice. In her defense, she did suggest I watch Motorcycle Diaries and loves Pedro Almodovar movies, so picking one clunker should not get her disbarred from the Movie Buff Club.

To tell you the truth I believe she picked this movie because of Daniel Craig being the lead. Hell, I chose not to fight against it too hard because of Rachel Weisz. Anyway, wait for the video/dvd to come out and rent it. It's not a terrible movie, just predictable. Actually Craig and Weisz made it somewhat enjoyable, but, at best, it's a master class version of a Twilight Zone flick. Below find a review that somehow manages to convey my sentiments about this film:

Generic and predicable thriller made somewhat bearable by the undeniable chemistry and acting chops between Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, even though both actors involved deserved better than what they were giving with the material. Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz work very well together on screen ( and supposedly in real life as well) but they should have waited for a better film to showcase their chemistry and acting chops then this film, which not only does not respect their efforts in trying to bring humanity and credibility to a badly written script but does not even try to at least capitalize on their efforts in bringing more to the movie. Instead, the movie goes into several different unnecessary directions that goes no where and drags this film down. Naomi Watts is good as well but i just did not think much about her character and found her an unnecessary, forced inclusion to the story that ruins the film by making it even more predictable than it already is. The film also feels like it was two separate movies before it became one. Its a ghost story then it moves into a mystery with out it making much sense, not to mention the fact of how predicable the whole structure is. Let's just say that you have in fact seen this story before.

Its alright for what it is but it could have been much more, especially with two great actors (Weisz and Craig) having great acting chemistry on screen.

SGG

Next movie: Drive (has anyone seen this?)
