I went in to this wishing for a good Kevin Cosnter movie...and I wasn't disapointed. With the addition of William Hurt it only made this movie better. With Hurt playing Cosnters evil alter ego Marshall. The banter between the two really made this movie. Dane Cook even played a good role, his humor fit in to the role with out being over bearing.

This is one I would suggest to people looking for a good thriller.

7.5/10

The Greco factor is a 10/10 for the opening murder and Mr.Brooks daughter is pretty hot.

This was an excellent psycological thriller. Very well done with the alter-ego bit. Very clever plot.

I normally don't like Kevin Costner but I really enjoyed this one.

3 1/2 out of 5 stars

I am absolutely checking this out tonight. Been looking forward to this since I saw the trailer on Grindhouse. I mainly wanted to see Dane Cook in a different role then he usually plays.

The only Costner movies I've truly enjoyed were A Perfect World and Open Range. He has done good work on many other movies, but the movies weren't all that incredible.

Then there is the issue of trying to forgive him for The Postman, Waterworld, The Guardian, etc.

So I went into this expecting nothing too great, but walked out of it having really enjoyed the show. The key word here is interesting. This movie was interesting from beginning to end. Amazingly I never looked at my watch once during the show.

This movie may not stand up to repeated viewings (maybe it will, I'm not sure), but it's certainly worth checking out.

3.5 out of 5
