A good movie

Well, I thought it was a rather fascinating and unsettling thriller. Basically, there is one location and almost no action scenes so to keep you interested, they really needed to provided a good story and some pretty good performances. Fortunately, both Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page were both quite amazing , showing, in the process, two different faces of Evil. There is one thing I really found interesting is that there is no good guy here, only two twisted minds and, at the end, I didn't root for either of them and it made it sometimes difficult to care about the whole thing. I was rather amazed that, back then when the movie was released,  all over the internet, you could find some people claiming that Hayley Stark completely rocked, that she did the right thing, etc... Well, as far as I'm concerned, I thought she was a complete psycho and I'm pretty sure this is the point of the movie, not to show she is a heroin but to show that she is really messed up. The fact that Jeff Kohlver is a pedophile doesn't change the fact that she is a potential serial killer and I think it is pretty stupid to root for a psychotic serial killer, even when they are chasing pedophiles. My main concern with this flick is that I kept wondering what was the whole point of it after all. And I'm afraid the whole point was just to shock and put the viewers in a uncomfortable situation. No more and no less. Anyway, in spite of these flaws, I have to admit that it is still a good thriller and it is definitely worth a look.
