A pretty good thriller that will make you scared a couple of times. It’s far from Hitchcock, but comparisons be dammed, it has atmosphere, a mysterious villain and good actors. If you come across it, don’t hesitate.

Considering the cast, I expected it to be a bit better, but I have to admit that it definitely didn't live up to expectations. In the end, it's a pretty normal thriller that will leave you guessing who's behind it until the end. Meryl Streep is adorable in the role and she and Roy make an interesting couple.

A horror-tinged crime thriller that tries to follow in the footsteps of Hitchcock's classic works. It has a decent script and, above all, a quality cast, with Meryl Streep bringing a refreshing touch thanks to her high level of acting professionalism, especially since she hasn't played many similar roles. Overall impression: 75%. Several scenes from the film are definitely memorable.
