What was going through your head when you saw this?


All I kept thinking was, "Jim, what are you doing? What are you doing, Jim?"

All I kept thinking was, "Damn, this is stupid."

I had read many reviews before watching it, so I tired to find the elements that coincide with "scary comic shades". However, I found them natural, and thought that was possibly what Mr. Carrey is like in real life: arranging untidy things, top pupil, cold humour, metal problems, making decisions,etc.
It is one of those suspense films which you can tell the end before you finish half of them or even at the beginning, such as you can tell the whole film Inception is a dream, yet you still have the patience to see what actually happens in the middle. Since it is a Jim Carrey film made in 2007, it certainly has got an instructive happy-end.

I thought "how damn difficult is it to do a fact check" that was after Fingerling stated that Ted Bundy was executed on January 23.

This is so weird.

Lots and lots of alcohol fumes.

"God, this is awful!"

Seriously, I love Jim Carrey and thought he acted well in this, but the movie itself is a steaming turd. The only movie his that I've seen so far that I haven't liked.

To each their own, but trust me, this is a well-made thriller when you compare it to Dark Crimes. I saw it for free and am pissed off about 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back. I should have realized it was a turd due to it sitting on the shelves for over two years.

This is so fucking stupid... nobody is buying this shit, are they?

'What an awful movie'...

But on second viewing years later, I thought it was okay. I'll prolly never watch it again though.
