    I thoroughly enjoyed this film - it came as a very pleasant surprise. Grant's acting was top-notch and showed that he has more to him. It is a great suspense film, with a very engaging story-line, and does even present some ethical questions. I would definitely recommend it.

    Every dialogue in the scene is well thought out, director makes a good use of a classy actor like Grant, good work comes through... Sarah Jessica fits great as a doctor, suits her much better than that of Carrie Bradshaw. While watching, i thought how good of a motivation is Luthan when acting in obscure circumstances.
  • Surprisingly good.

    Engaging film., great story. I didn't like the look of the trailer, or Hugh Grant in general, so was pleasantly surprised.
