| Film ThreatJeremy MathewsA stylish film that captures the bleak gloom of a desolate town and contrasts it with a satire of insurance commercials that concentrate on happy, sunny days -- not the ones that require insurance |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickThis is a very dark, very pretty picture (photographed by Óttar Guðnason) that has little else to offer, and its ending, at least for my taste, was a little corny. |
| User ReviewPrivate UWatch this, it's interesting and a little creepy but, very good. |
| User ReviewMikael Fwho's conning the con-men? Brilliant story and film by Baltasar Kormákur. |
| User ReviewChosen 7Well this movie is unique. In many other movies you see the same scam over and over again and you always know what's going to happen, how it's going to end but this movie is diffrent you've seen the scam but you dont know what's going to happen |
| User ReviewGuillaume LKormakur transpose son univers apre et poisseux aux USA. Il a un peu grossi le trait dans la desolation des paysages et la "beaufitude" des habitants. Cela contribue a creer une atmosphere unique dira-t-on ! Le personnage de Whitaker est plus interessant, plus ambigu. Meme si on devine son evolution a l'image d'un intrigue apparemment complexe mais qui reprend des themes classiques : usurpation d'identite, arnaque a l'assurance. Le film egratigne d'ailleurs avec un certain bonheur le metier d'assureur (voyous ! :-) ). Il est bien mene et merite d'etre vu. Meme s'il ne vous laissera pas un souvenir imperissable. |
| User ReviewCourtney TA small noir gem with another good performance by Forest Whitaker. Mainly shot in Iceland and it does have an Icelandic feeling to it. |
| User Reviewcrep _liked it. forest whitaker shouldntve died though. i think they only killed him so he can stay away from isold and the kid, he was a bit of a creeper. |
| User ReviewJason MThis move seem realy stupid till you get to the end and it makes you start it over so that you can watch it becuz it good, so just keep your mind in it and it will turn out great. |
| User ReviewBruce BThe crash scene at the end of this movie is in itself worth watching, best stunt I have ever seen. The film is about the best suspense film I have seen in some time. Forest Whitaker keeps popping up in these unheard of films. Julia Stiles plays the abused female and does a excellent job of it. Child Actor Alfred Harnsworth reached the top of the peak in this one. It will keep you on the very edge of your seat, you will not get up or walk away from this one. 4 Stars reaching for 5 |
