It reminded me of Don’t Say A Word, and considering I loved that movie, I was hoping it would be just as engaging.
This is a perfect example of why Canada can’t have nice things. You have this wonderful idea for a movie… and then we get this.
You know, I get it; we’re not American, we don’t want our movies to be so Hollywood, we want our movies to be bare bones good, not sparkles and unicorns… but when you have a movie build up the suspense and build up even more suspense and have it amount to absolutely NOTHING, you wreck that movie.
On a positive note, the acting was really good (only reason this movie got a 0.5). The psychologist Dr. Toby Green (Bruce Greenwood) and the patient/suspect Michael Aleen (Xavier Dolan) both did a great job with their roles. And they were pretty much the only characters in the movie (Dr. Green’s wife and the nurse aside).
This could have been such a great cat and mouse psychological thriller, but it broke and ended just as suddenly as glass would break if dropped on a hard floor.
