Warning: Spoilers
It is one of the most disturbing and engrossing movies. It sure does holds our attention after watching it and it is a perfect one time watch movie. The highlight of the movie is lead performances by Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson. About Page,she did her job so good.One of the most creepiest performances. She looks so sweet and act grievously,she really is a hard candy in the movie.She is one of the natural actors. Patrick Wilson too well-acted the character of a pedophile who got has been stuck with an insane girl who kills pedophile. His depiction of anger,pain and surprise is really great. The cat and mouse game holds us onto the edge our seats. The plot is totally unpredictable and many scenes amazes us throughout the movie. Changing frequency and shaky camera style in some scenes is also dazzling. Writers picked a controversial topic and with a low-budget they turned it into a capricious suspense thriller. If there were no flaws it would been the one of the best thrillers. Character development and repetition of same dialogues i.e."You are a pedophile" "No i am not" "You killed her" "i didn't kill her" etc. seems cheesy. Though the plot is unpredictable it is a bit crumby in scenes. But it is great two time watch movie. I enjoyed it. Hats off to Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page.
