There is a modern brand of suspense film that prides itself in doing nothing more than keeping the viewer confused and second-guessing the plot from beginning to end.

Sometimes when I’m sick of Hollywood studio product I’ll go to the Valley Art Cinema in Tempe. They generally present foreign films or odd little films that don’t really merit widespread release.

if this film were not overlong, dull and indifferently acted by great actors simply collecting an easy paycheck, the obviousness and idiocy of the transparent plot would be enough for me to recommend staying away
