Crappy ending, but the overall story and Mortensen make it worth watching

it was not memorable by any stretch of the imagination
but it was not bad either

A good plot, except that I wanted a little more passion in the delivery by the actors

I love Michael Douglas. Gwyneth Paltrow, not so much. Michael Douglas trying to kill Gwyneth Paltrow (who happens to be a cheating slore in this film)? I'm all in!

The best scenes were the ones when appeared Viggo Mortensen, who was awesome in this role. Douglas and Paltrow's acting was good but nothing special. The changes to the story... well some of them were good and others didn't make much sense, but in the end, for being a remake of a Hitchcock film is very acceptable and very entertaining. The thrilling and exciting atmosphere was great, and for that I thank director Andrew Davis for its work.

None of the amusement gained in watching the performances, unfortunately, amounts to much, as the script, in a desperate attempt to lend action interest to the original, static, puzzle plot, compounds surprise turn after surprise turn.

What the film lacks is suspense, surprise (the new ending is a dud) and passion.

I think it works like a nasty little machine to keep us involved and disturbed; my attention never strayed, and one of the elements I liked was the way Paltrow's character isn't sentimentalized.

...snoozy, slack...

...there's nothing about this thriller to prevent it from soon becoming enmeshed in the memory with others in which Michael Douglas wears a starched collar and grits his teeth.
