I saw this movie in theaters when it came out and loved it. I've since seen it several times and still find it very entertaining and a movie with excellent acting from Michael Douglas, Gwenyth Paltrow and Viggo Mortensen. The film even has Mr. Hercule Poirot alias David Suchet, as an intense police investigator. Can you ask for more?This is an old fashioned thriller, with a dark storyline, with some unexpected turns. I do not want to give anything away. Don't read reviews with spoilers, if you intend to see it. As you have guessed by now, I really recommend this movie. See it if you enjoy thorough films, with great acting and a story that never never bores you. Get the popcorn ready - and enjoy. This film deserves a lot better score than the low rating in here.

I have viewed this film several times and kept trying to think of what was it that bugged me so much about it. These kids are riding the wave of luxury and have servants (i.e. with keys) and access to a locksmith.Hence, one would presume the entire basis of this crime unravelling would NEVER be lack of an extra key. Well, well, well....guess the rich have to trim those corners and keep Mr. Red Line at bay.I was surprised that Ms. 80lbs Wet would just savor the thought of having an entire Pork Roast with veggies awaiting her salivating greedy chops. Guess who's coming to dinner cupcake? The saving grace of the film of course is our dear voluptuous Viggo. Although he keeps repeating lines, mumbles a lot and appears quite the patsy, I was able to force field my way to appreciate his muted performance. He has been around too long to have accepted this type of role but Mikey made him an offer he chewed on....haha.High recommend for Armenian(?) interactions, high seas romance, financial collapse and doom lovers, and good ol' stupidity!

Spoiler Ahead! I really can't understand how anyone could have liked this movie. It was a tired story and poor in execution from start to finish. The only redeeming value was in the three principal performances which were great but not nearly enough to bail out this sinking ship of a thriller.First of all, if the artist David Shaw had as much talent as reported in the movie and he had a huge loft in NY he wouldn't have to lie about his past and he would have rich women lining up to have affairs with him. And $400,000 for a killing? He could make that on one over-rated painting if he sold it to some chump socialite.The big problem I have with films of this ilk is that they just aren't nearly as clever as they assume to be. Steven Taylor could have found a lot less complicated way to kill his wife for her money and by involving a known criminal in the mix all he does is throw in a lot more loose—and unreliable—ends.The final death struggle was preposterous. The guy had already attempted to kill her yet she confronts him alone in their apartment? Why not just invite him down into the unlit cellar instead? And then we have the ridiculously cliché dead-but-not-really-dead bad guy who gets yet one more chance to do her in. This tripe seems to be written by people who do nothing but watch crappy movies.Profoundly mediocre at its core.

I'm gonna give it a 9, to fix a bit the bad IMDb score. I think this movie is underrated - in my opinion mainly because it's a remake of a Hitchcock classic. People think that "No one should mess with Hitchcock, because they are going to just fail compared to him". This may be true, but I think this movie is underrated. For starters, it does not have the same plot - not even close. There are many surprises for people who have seen the original Hitch movie. In fact, they are essentially a different movie, the main plot line is very different. Only the theme is similar. It has also very good acting by three of the main actors, plus lot of suspense. It kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. This comes from a person who has seen the original Hitchcock movie dozen of times. People shouldn't rate movies badly, because they are remakes (or sequels). If they bring something new to the table, they are justified. You don't have to reinvent the wheel every time, composers and musicians take influences from old music all the time, then they add SOMETHING new, but something in hit songs is always familiar and done before. Having influences is not necessarily a bad thing.
