Rating: 3/5 -- To his credit, writer-director Jamie Thraves avoids the absurd twists and abrupt jolts audiences have come to expect from thrillers, instead maintaining a slow, deliberate burn. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- Overall, it's the kind of technically proficient, deliberately paced, grim sleepwalk that leaves one cold rather than cracked open. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5 -- Considine -- a UK actor who's usually great -- rubs the Midlands out of his accent so vigorously he winds up tone-deaf and textureless. Full Review

... preserves the doom and the emotional irrationality of Highsmith in this remarkably faithful adaptation, but never manages to capture the terrible helplessness and hopelessness... Full Review

Product Description:

Another novel by Patricia Highsmith (THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY) thrills onscreen with this adaptation starring Julia Stiles and Paddy Considine. Fleeing a failed marriage in the big city, Robert is a newcomer to a small town who finds his time consumed with secretly watching a woman named Jenny. When he finally meets her, they begin a relationship, despite the fact that she has a boyfriend. When Jenny's boyfriend goes missing, Robert becomes a suspect, but his disappearance may be more of a frame-up than a murder.
