"I saw it with my daughter yesterday. It's beautifully shot and the acting is great. Both Naomi Watts and Edward Norton are at their best in this movie. The tension between them is so thick as to be an almost a visible force in the movie."

"If you like Edward Norton than you MUST see him in this story with Watts. The scenery alone is breathtaking. I enjoyed it so much that it's one I could see again."
