[[Spoilers] Quite an ordinary film. Nothing really special.

I went into this film not knowing anything about it, other than it starred Jeff Fahey and some local British actors I quite liked. But what irritated me was having this stupid American detective in there that seemed to serve no purpose at all other than to be another token American necessary for the film to market okay in the US. He didn't add anything to the story other than to make you grit your teeth at the horrendous acting and onscreen personality he portrayed.

Admittedly it did have a good twist at the end - which is a real bonus for a formulae driven hollywood production - I can genuinely say I didn't see it coming right up until the very last part of the film when they pull all the evidence together. But the demise of the bad guy didn't fit with the rest of the film. In some ways I was left wondering if maybe the director couldn't make up his mind about whether he was making a thriller or a ghost story. Which did have an impact on the rest of the film with respect to how the story unfolded.

In the end, I think this could have been done a lot better with some essential script changes, a tighter storyline (make one or the other, but not half and half), and a couple of cast changes; namely the removing of the American detective who does nothing to add to the story at all.
