Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not for everyone
Review: This thriller is an excellently made film. I won't go into all the reasons here, as they're covered in most of the other reviews. The best thing about it is that it's in no way predictable, but neither is it unbelievable. The directer gave it a great atmosphere. While one is watching it, it's difficult to put a finger on exactly what's unsettling, but it is. I gave the film 3 stars because it's not for everyone; even those who like thrillers (like myself) may be slightly turned off by the protagonist's actions. For me, the conclusion and his actions (which I won't reveal here and spoil the film) left me unsatisfied. I rented the film with a free coupon and was glad I got it free, it's not a film I'd pay to watch.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hitchcock would be proud
Review: This is a very low-key, intelligent and even disturbing thriller. Harry is a psycho who does incredible harm but utlimatley leaves his friend better off. I really liked this film, it was a very nice surprise
