2.0 out of 5 stars Too much Dec 24 2010
By Sebastien Lessard
Format:DVD
Reading the back cover made this movie sound more interesting than it was. Good performance from Alan Rickman could not save this film that had too many twists and huge gaps in logic. This movie wanted to be parts Tarantino and Ritchie but failed.

If you keep your expectations very low you might be entertained.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, twisted and dark thriller/comedy... Mar 23 2009
By Steve Kuehl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
When I first watched this, the difficulty rested in how to categorize this legitimately. We have action, a little gore, lots of plot twists, suspense, thriller, dark comedy and a little bit of sex. So I say it gets it all, and with a nice cast to boot.

Alan Rickman is great once again and plays one of the more despicable characters I have seen him fulfill. He is cast as the adulterous professor/Nobel Prize winner that finds his son kidnapped/ransomed for the money he will be receiving. His adulterous wife (sublime yet believable in Steenburgen) tags along all whilst the detective (Pullman) tracks the strange truths and twists of the case. Eliza Dushku plays an R role, and the rest of the cast gives some fun performances, especially from Hatosy and even a little part for Devito.

The quality of the DVD and the 5.1 are adequate, with plenty of featurettes/deleted scenes that help show the production's back story and missing parts. A worthwhile film that has gotten little press, and even less distribution. Hope you enjoy a fun, plot twisting film that can be appreciated up to the last scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the movie May 3 2009
By Susan G. Reed - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This movie is a very fast moving plot with lots of twists and turns that sometimes leaves you unsure of what just happened. In the end though it all comes together and is really quite entertaining. Alan Rickman is convincing as a self centered, egotistical and boorish nobel prize winner who is soon embroiled in a kidnapping plot. Family loyalties are tested and priorities examined. Mary Steenburgen is perfect as Rickman's wife who has to endure his personality flaws while dealing with the brutal kidnapping of their son. Things aren't as they seem though and the ending is a surprise. Definitely worth a watch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smart and twisted Mar 21 2009
By Grimmy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
First, the summary on the back of the case is inaccurate. Second, there are a couple of squeamish bits. One is quite graphic - involving the uh, taking of a thumb; the other, also involving body parts, is quite shocking, but is later ... er ... mitigated.

Rickman is wonderful as a self-important, philandering professor. The plot is wonderfully puzzling, and, for all its twistedness, not lacking in humanity or heart.

And that's all I can say about that.
