The film kept me in high tension throughout. I just couldn't figure it out. why did she scream, this was never explained and yet the whole movie was projected from this incident. The evil was palpable but had no explanation. It was a movie that deceived and never came clean. I felt exploited by a sick mind. Impossible to decide on a rating.

It builds slowly but surely

One has to stick with this film. The tension builds layer by layer till one is holding one's whole body tight. Why? There's no big bang or surprise but one just get's caught up with the reality and the hurt of it: and one hopes. The acting is superb from all the performers and Nicole and Joseph come through with perfect pitch. Truly talented professionals.

A slice of the tragic.

I was amazed at the negative reviews of this film. I simply bawled.
David Morse acted superbly the plight of a man who is coming to know who he is and what he is capable of given certain circumstances. Only a man of conscience could react the way the lead character did in this film.
This is a psychological drama/thriller that keeps one guessing till the end and reveals the tragedy of the human condition with great poignancy.
Perhaps the secret that the lead was dealing with was concealed in a rather confusing fashion and made it hard to follow along but it is a ploy often used in the movies and doesn't take away from the core theme of the story. I cannot explain the core theme without giving away too much so I will just admonish viewers to take the time to watch this almost masterpiece of psychology if they have lived a little and are honest.
