Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

traceylough87 So I've been on a quest to watch all things Norman Reedus, and am very happy to have found this little movie which I love. I loved it so much that after I first watched a downloaded file of it, I searched many stores online and finally found a second hand copy of the DVD on eBay, which I purchased.I like small, character-driven movies and this is one of my favorites. There are just three actors, and most of the movie takes place in the same house, so it is up to the actors and writers to make it work. I knew how it was going to end before watching, but not all the details of it, so although I would have liked to be surprised, I still enjoyed the suspense of the film and seeing how the characters reacted to one another.If you are a fan of any of these actors this is a must-see, as they all had amazing performances. I'm trying to get more people to watch it, but since it is hard to find, I guess only hard core fans will make the effort.

leslieann-1 Rickman is sexy and good, but the "stranger" is less convincing - Reedus is sort of sexy, but he is not a consistent actor - this could be the director's fault in this case - we are supposed to find him alluring in the extreme just because he is "pretty" - but that's not enough. The thwarted wife is almost convincing - 7 years marriage and she and Rickman's character should be more settled with each other, whether their roles are to be incompatible or not - they must have patterns by now. i get that, although i think the wife is a bit stiff in her role - and not convincingly attracted to the "stranger" - so that's a failing - the unspoken bonding between the Rickman character and the "stranger" is better done, even if we are not sure what it is. i miss Rickman's sexy English accent (luckily he slips into it and out of the American pattern). disappointing but with some great acting.

Ale_XS "It's funny your worst nightmare always seems so far away!" Dark Habour's characters, a married couple (Alan Rickman & Polly Hunter) and a vagabond (Norman Reedus), are slipping into a game full of hidden sexual energy and treason. Now-and-then tantalizing breaks increase the tensions and give much space for interpretations. Good acting and a story which, if not using the brain, will leave you in confusion. You have to watch it twice at least. The very strength lies in its unconventionality and in Alan Rickman, of course. Those who love him will love this movie.Conclusion: It is not a typical prime time movie but Well Done !

daizybethy a married couple goes on vacation and come across a homeless guy who is all beaten up. well he keeps showing up during the vacation and is left alone with the wife. but then there is a twist ending....i rented this movie because i am a die hard Norman Reedus fan. i am trying to watch all of his movies.the movie was hard to follow the first time i saw it. i mean it doesn't exactly go into the "whys" or "hows" of a plot. but all in all....i really liked it. i think norman reedus is a great actor! and alan rickman is god, of course. i just kept wanting to know more about the plot. i mean, at the end, alan and norman kiss...so did they know each other for a long time before that or had they just met recently. did they both plan the wifes death? or was it just one of them and the other one going along with it. the movie is funny and sexy. but yes i agree with a few other people commenting on it, and i'll say you have to watch it a few times to really like it.i have to say...the end...the kiss...wow. norman and alan. very nice indeed.
