This is a pretty tough watch; uncompromising and brutal, where the action on the screen is only half the story. It's the bits you don't see that stay with you, not just the physical things but the way Haley uses the psychological to persuade Jeff to do her bidding. It's not one I could watch again, well not for a very long time anyway. I must admit that I was very impressed with both Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson; the whole film hung on their performances and they delivered in spades! It's certainly a film that will make you think twice about meeting an online acquaintance face to face
