I hate reading the cover blurb on a movie that makes it sound like an action/adventure and then I have to sit through something like this.
They're supposed to use code-words like 'psychological thriller', so you know whether you really want to rent the movie, let alone watch it.
I guess you could compare it to other movies with off-the-wall twists if you really had to, but I think that would be doing those other movies a disservice.
The acting and story can be quite melodramatic and over the top at many points (if intended) so, if you were expecting this sort of movie, you would probably be a bit more forgiving. But the movie continually goes from weird to weirder and was not what I was looking for.
If you've seen other, similar movies (John Cusack , Identity) then you've already seen a decent movie and there's really no need to rehash a good concept with bad acting and bad writing.
If you watched the movie and liked it, fine. But it's really not what you would expect from the DVD slip cover.
