A nice little thriller but not all the way there


It's a movie that tries to set a slower pace, letting the mystery build and the tension slowly rise until about halfway when you realize what is going down.

It's well shot, the location is unique and beautiful, and Stahl is great at looking confused and stressed out.

The problem I had with it a lot of the scenarios felt forced. There were too many conveniences that occurred, just to add problems for the character and push tension. When that happens in a thriller eyes start to roll a bit.

All in all I guess it was worth a rental but it's definitely not going on any top 10 list.

The most stupid thing was in the beginning when all those people didn't know what Jack looked like and thought his friend was Jack
