If you think this superb and underrated thriller 'mildly entertaining,' you don't know much about film making.
Great script, fine performances all round, tight direction, and a fine score.
Sony have have had hundreds of requests to release it on DVD.
We can't all be dumb.

Fine, but it was a compliment that I found it entertaining. No need to stress!

I just caught the 1st July screening. It's not a bad little movie.

I mainly watched it because it was an adaptation of a W.W. Jacobs short story.

After watching the movie, I googled the original story (quicker than finding the book in my collection) & reread it.

I have to say that the adaptation fleshes out a very slight story very well indeed. In fact I would go as far as the say the screenplay improved on the original source considerably.

Not often you can make that claim for the movie industry.
