If the owl is crying, it’s because he had to sit through this awful film. Despite being based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith (The Talented Mr. Ripley) this movie is a muddled mess. The book is likely much better; though it was worth adapting into film, sadly, it wasn’t adapted into a good film. Director/writer Jamie Thraves clearly has no idea what to do with Highsmith’s material.
The film is so dull that even director Thraves seems to lose interest and thus keeps changing the plot randomly. The film starts out with an interesting premise. A troubled man named Robert Forrester (Paddy Considine) going through a divorce from his beautiful wife Nikki (Caroline Dhavernas) seeks solace in a quiet, small town. He becomes obsessed with a woman named Jenny (Julia Stiles) who lives alone in a little house, occasionally visited by her boyfriend Greg (James Gilbert...

Fans of the Saw franchise, get ready for a slice of coolness. Over on director Kevin Greutert's website, hes posted a list of cast members with photos and a truckload of behind-the-scenes images. Nothing too exciting, but considering the veil of secrecy usually kept over these films, this is pretty neat.
Joining Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, and Shawnee Smith will be Shauna MacDonald, Devon Bostick, Marty Moreau, Karen Cliche, Shawn Mathieson, Melanie Scrofano, James Gilbert, Shawn Ahmed, Janelle Hutchison, Gerry Mendicino, Caroline Cave and Ginger Busch.
