  • Overall: It's not perfect, but the intrigue will easily get you going and the suspense will then pick up.
  • Who is it for? Those looking for a nice intrigue with a bit of suspense. Nothing scary there.

  • Known actors: Hayden Christensen, Jessica Alba and Terrence Howard.
  • Cameos: Christopher McDonald.
  • Setting: Very rich.
  • Style: An intrigue that hides everything from you until each reveal.
  • Pacing: A very nice crescendo.
  • Intro: Pretty much straight to the point.
  • Story: At first glance, it looks like a romance, but it turns into something else halfway through. Feels realistic. Nice tension. Good twists. First time around, you really get caught up in the intrigue.
  • Ending: The last line is lame or badly delivered, I don't know, but it's really annoying.
  • Characters: A bit simple, but you can really feel them.
  • Acting: Nice performance on the part of everyone, but Hayden Christensen is probably showing the limit of his capabilities.
