Great submitted by SolaireFQ on August 27, 2016, 1:29pm This movie is a remake of a swedish one. Both are really good. This movie twists and turns and you end up not sure what to think of the good guy.

Amazing submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on July 19, 2023, 10:13am A great noir-ish mystery/thriller. It was both fun and chilling to see Robin Williams play a real villain.
