Halle Berry teams up with Bruce Willis in this thriller that keeps audience members on the edge of their seats with a complicated story line and twists and turns throughout.
Rowena Price, played by Berry, stars as an investigative reporter who uncovers a murder of a close friend. She believes that ad agency executive Harrison Hill (Willis) may be responsible for her friend’s death.
However, as the movie progresses, everything is not as it seems and the audience learns the depths that Price will go to keep a secret.
This film is one of the best written screenplays that has been produced this year, and has many surprises for the audience. I didn’t figure out the ultimate outcome of this movie until the plot unfolded, and I was completely shocked about the outcome. It was like watching The Village all over again, without the disappointing ending.
The acting produced by Willis and Price was incredible and the onscreen chemistry is so believable that you can’t tear your eyes away from the screen, even to get more popcorn. Berry definitely redeems herself (after Catwoman) with her portrayal in this film and Willis delivers a surprisingly sexy performance, getting away from the usual action-packed roles he plays.
Overall, this film is breathtaking, and the audience will be surprised and stunned at the end of the movie.
It is well worth the price of a movie ticket and I would recommend that you go see it at a movie theatre instead of waiting for it to come out on DVD.
