Quotes:

Detective Mountjoy: You seem kind of relaxed, if you don't mind me saying. For a man who's about to spend the next 30 years sucking unwashed dick.
Sean Veil: You seem kinda jealous, if you don't mind me saying.

See Evans in a totally different light

This film, although not to everybody's liking, shows the world exactly how talented Lee Evans actually is. We all know his comedy skills aren't lacking (think Parole Officer) but this picture really does show off his acting abilities.

I found it a little slow to start, but it keeps you guessing all the way, whether this is intentional or not it certainly keeps you glued to the screen!

My advice is go grab it! Probably not one to watch again and again but certainly an enjoyable movie, Evans really does shine and makes this movie. Watch out for the crazy plot twist at the end, beats sixth sense's twists any day!
