It is good to see that Hitchcock is alive and well. Brad Anderson (Session 9) gives us a good thriller that keeps us guessing throughout.
You never know who the good guys and the bad guys are. It really doesn't matter as the characters are so good that you are drawn to their performances.
Emily Mortimer (Paris, je t'aime, The Sleeping Dictionary) is excellent as a tempted wife who finds that demons still exist within her. When she realizes that she has been set up, the tension became amazing as we watch her efforts to escape.
The tempter is an equally good Eduardo Noriega (Vantage point & the elusive Alatriste). He has met his match with Mortimer, but not before he really complicates her life.
There is some really gruesome torture involving Kate Mara (Brokeback Mountain, We Are Marshall).
And, there is Ben Kingsley, a detective that goes after drug dealers. His performance is amazing. (Kingsley will be in Queen of the South next year, but I don't get my hopes up as that film is written by the same person who wrote Alatriste, which is not to be found.)
Kingsley is his usual amazing self and his character is worth the price of admission all by itself.
