That was an excellent one.

... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreThe movie started off strong with a great premise, great characters, and a great story. It was all extremely tense and clever. The character was also extremly sympathetic and well developed. It was actually one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and with such a high concept idea. But the third act- it was awful. I have no idea what the writers were thinking. It went from a perfectly good thriller to a cliche gore fest. The third act completely made no sense, erased all previous characters and their development, and dragged on for way too long. The longer it went on the more I hated the entire story arc. Seriously, it gets more ridiculous and ridiculous by the second- as id it was written by two different people. The final line in the movie is so cringey and awful as well. I would have preferred just "the Hive" setting for the entire film. What a disappointment.
... View MoreI didn't think I would like this movie, and just caught my eye(and cause I like Halle Berry's other works) so i thought why not give a chance. The movie proved itself to be actually really interesting, well put together anticipating thriller. It's not the typical kidnapper film, and i found myself on the edge of my seat, rooting for Jordan to catch the killer. The moment where she talks with Casey on the phone was very well put together, and maybe my favorite scenes of the film.However, the killer wasn't most well written and found it quite cliché, even though I'd love to know more about his motivation. Like when did he start killing the girls, was it when his sister died? what happened to her sister, and if she died of cancer like we were let to believe why did he have to start killing other girls? did he just go crazy? I mean maybe he was just crazy, but i thought it was weird his wife had NO clue of his killer personality and that he had killed dozen of girls.Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. It made me root for Jordan to find the killer, even the ending was somewhat predictable, but glad it had a happy ending. I wish we'd seen Jordan taking Casey to cinema like she promised though!
... View MoreI watched this movie by DVD but i am very sad because its worth watching it in the cinema. Halle Berry with amazing acting. Also a good movie because it has real life happenings. Rated R. I gave 8 out of 10 because there were some mistakes. But still an amazing movie. I am saying to you Its worth watching and spending time
... View MoreIt's been a long time since I've seen Halle Berry in something. She's darn god great here, back in top form, as a police phone operator, who takes a emergency call that turns tragic for a young teenage girl victim. Inundated with guilt, she now becomes a tour guide operator of the place, where a similar emergency, involving the same killer, puts her back in action. Abigail Breslin, a really good actress is the latest victim, of this psycho, whose motives eventually become clear, which made him more human, in spite of his inexcusable and deplorable acts. I really liked that, about this film, as well as this actor's fantastic, and truly believable and frightening performance, from a Patrick Wilson or Michael De Good looking guy. Too, I also understood the choice of victims. This movie has been carefully structured, and thought out, and the script pays off, beautifully. The killer keeps his living victims in the trunk of his car, and I liked the situations that put killer and victim in peril, and it was just so much fun to see where this would take the story. This is a really enjoyable kick arse film, a slick thriller, and I'd almost feel bold, saying the movie is faultless, right to it's shattering climax, and grim outcome. It also introduces us to the life of emergency operators, and what it looks over over a potpourri of victim's calls, a lot of them frankly unsettling, and terrifyingly confronting. One of those real exciting movies of 2013, that doesn't come manifold a year, and one you glad you saw.
