Relph (Norfolk, England) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful Did not expect to like this film half as much as I did. Even my wife, who is not keen on violent films admitted the next day that she found the film enjoyable despite it subject matter. What we both agreed on was: that although the plot gets quite complex, the story is clearly told and you always understand what is going on. You are never sure how things are going to turn out and so even near the end of the film you are still thoroughly engaged. br /There is a twist (or two) at the end, one of which I could have done without, but still it gets five stars. Recommended viewing; whatever you think of Mr. Costner's abilities as an actor? Bloody brilliant! March 16, 2008 Sue Lewendon (England) 9 out of 11 found this review helpful WOW! I watched this film last night with my hubby and it was so good, I watched it again straight away with my daughter! It kept me riveted to the spot and my hubby actually gave it 8 out of 10 which is unheard of! br / br /It follows the story of Earl Brooks, (Costner), who is named business man of the year at the start of the movie and shows us that he is a perfectly normal man with a loving wife and daughter. It's not long though before we meet Marshall, (William Hurt), Earl's evil and twisted alter ego. He wants nothing more than to kill innocent people and he always gets what he wants from Earl. br / br /So off we go on a journey to kill another unsuspecting couple. Only this time, Earl makes a mistake by killing these people with their curtains open. He quickly closes them and continues his mission, all the while he's being chastised by Marshall. br / br /Next day at work his daughter turns up unannounced and says she's dropped out of school, (we later find out why and it's brilliant!), and there is a man, (Dane Cook), with an envelope who is keen to speak to him. It turns out that the envelope contains photographs of Earl at the murder scene. What he wants in exchange for his silence is to accompany Earl on another murder. br / br /There's also a sub plot that runs along side the main storyline. This is police detective Tracy Atwood, (Demi Moore), who is searching for the thumbprint killer, (Brooks), going through a messy divorce and is also being stalked by another serial killer, the hangman, she had caught before, and who has subsequently escaped from jail. br / br /There are several twists and turns to this story that kept me interested both times I watched it. It didn't lose any of it's power the second time through either. Another thing that I was pleased about was that although this is a story about a serial killer, there wasn't too much violence in it. There was only two bits in particular that stand out for me that have the eeeew factor. br / br /If you enjoy a film that keeps you guessing til the very end then this is the film for you. If you're a fan of Kevin Costner, you will love this. He gives another fantastic performance. All in all you could do a lot worse than this film so just trust me and buy it. At Last MR.COSTNER Has Proved He Can Star In A Good Movie February 3, 2008 M. B. Richardson (Stockton - on - Tees, Cleveland United Kingdom) 8 out of 13 found this review helpful PERFECT - Mr.Costner has finally proved all his critics wrong - He can star and do well in a movie (as long as he does'nt write or produce it). br / br /This movie is spellbinding from start to finish - the characters are great , the script is excellent and the multiple plots are genius . br / br /Highly Recommended !! br / br /Why do reviewers have to SPOIL the movie for people who have'nt seen it ?? Fantastic April 11, 2008 Camilla Lea (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I loved this film - it's funny with an intricate plot that keeps you on your toes. It's well shot and the editing is good - what more could you ask for in a film? br /I highly recommend this film, 5 stars! Interesting Film April 29, 2008 Zadius Sky 1 out of 1 found this review helpful When I first saw this movie on DVD, I did so without any expectation and I had no idea what the outcome was come to be. I was completely engaged into this movie throughout, and I found it to be quite an interesting thriller. br / br /I read upon a study of Psychopaths, and this movie is a good example of such individuals and also how they can be influenced by other than our real self. I thought it was well-done and that it is very good in depicting the role of "other voice" in our head and how one gave in to the temptations to kill. br / br /It is a very interesting film to watch with such a fascinating cast, including Hurt, Moore, and Helgenberger and intriguing story plot.
