Let me preface this with saying that I am a HUGE Bryan Cranston fan. He is a very talented actor, and his work in Breaking Bad cemented him in my mind as a masterful performer. However that said...
This film is at its best a poor attempt at trying to do a suspenseful film. The acting from Eve and Cranston is good, not great. *That accent!!! -Cringes-* Why on earth did Cranston have to be Russian? There was 0 point other than trying to make him seem "Cool" or maybe more menacing? It wasn't needed/didn't add to the story...
Also for a blind guy he does some rather amazing feats in this film that just defy belief, and as for Eve there are moments where she could very well escape her captor but simply chooses not to... It just completely defies all belief and makes things feel contrived and unrealistic. I had hoped for so much more.
Instead what I got was some great actors portraying crappy 2 dimensional characters.
-sigh- Oh well.
