The film never generates any suspense, and the twists not only go in expected directions, but pop up in all the expected places.

I recommend the film inasmuch as one can dime-store fiction/straight-to-video rabble.

Considero que es una buena pelicula. Aun cuando la trama no genera el suspenso necesario si me parece que ha sido bien actuada. Tanto Henstridge como Macfadyen y FOnda, logran interpretar unos buenos papeles. La hisotria no es la mejor que he visto, pero definitivamente tiene unos momentos culminates que la hacen merotoria de ver y el final es bastante sorpresivo. Asi que, si tienen un poco de tiempo para ver la pleicula, podria ser que la disfruten aunque no puedo garantizarles nada.

A Neo-Noir that suffers from such lazy writing that it borders on complete incompetence. The script is straightforward and dull with only an occasional clever line of dialog here and there ("I may not remember yesterday, but I wasn't born yesterday"), making it a very uninvolving and slow picture to sit through. Add the fact that Henstridge can't act and Macfadyen, who can, doesn't in this picture either. The twist ending would have been clever if it wasn't painfully obvious (again, due to lazy writing). Peter Fonda is the only thing good about this film, but even fans of the Easy Rider should skip this... and to think this is from Darrell Roodt, the Oscar-nominated director of "Yesterday"!
