This movie is, at its heart, a great movie. The only problems that I could see with the movie were that its 2 big names, Mandy Moore and Elijah wood, gave less than stellar performances. The star here is Franka Potente. Her performance is what carries this film forward.
Everything else about this film is quite solid. It was properly produced, the script and dialog was very well realized. The camera-work was very well done.
If you've already seen this movie and blasted it in the forums, give it another shot by focusing more on how the camera moves and the words that are actually spoken, not *how* they are spoken(which is where the actor's shortcomings come in to play). You might find a different(and better) film if you can just look past Elijah and Mandy.
