I LOVED this movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. thrilling and a ***********. Kevin Spacey does an amazing job as well as Kate Winslet. :) 2 thumbs up.

Tries to show it has its heart in the right place, but it's such a crude undertaking that it doesn't actually seem to have a heart at all. Full Review
