This film is based off the novel, with the same title, written by S. J. Watson. Christian, an amnesiac, decides to seek a new treatment to retrieve her missing memories. After she is instructed to keep a video diary, she begins to learn the dark truths of her past.
This film was directed by Rowan Joffe. This film has a lot of cliches within its story that it becomes kind of predictable. It becomes quickly obvious who the villain is. However, there is still a thrill element in wondering if she will learn the truth out fast enough to save herself. The morbid backstory was great to learn with the main character. It kept audiences questioning what they thought they knew. Unfortunately, it heavily reminded me of a darker version of the film 50 Fist Dates. There isn't a lot of gore, and there isn't a lot of nudity in this film. Nicole Kidman played the role of Christine. This was a role to bring her back in popular film. Her fragile performance made the film enjoyable. Colin Firth played the role of Ben. His performance could've been a little more mysterious, but it was dark enough to give the film its tension. Mark Strong played the role of Doctor Nasch. He played a general sympathetic role that didn't make him stand out.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a decent thriller film that is well acted.
This film can be seen on Netflix Instant Que.
