    Basically the film is kinda hard to understand until the very end, but the concept of sacrificing himself for others appeals to me enormously.
    Very cool.

    Okay, there is Carey Mulligan, and Natalie Portman in the same movie. I don't know if it's possible to do better. I was hoping a more trash ending. It would have been way more interesting to see him drown till the end. The acting is good, the trauma is really well represented.

    Have we ever seen a female cast of such beauty in cinema? I wonder. Sharon Stone and Jeanne Tripplehorn just wow.
    You can feel the torment and the vices that take over the main character as his relationship with Sharon Stone progresses.
    Aside from that, it's a good thriller, and the director's work in confusing the viewer by making the two women look suspicious and innocent in turn.
    The final scene, of course, clears everything up.

    Why does it look like an old Sunday TV film on at 2pm? It's boring. Whoopi Goldberg's character???? "I lost my son", but "I'm gay" was really the only possible answer to that????
