Great Movie! Not underappreciated - Just under marketed!


I just finished watching this and wow - what a pleasant surprise. I saw the 6.9 rating but figured it would be a predictable storyline about a newbie writer stealing a novel as his own and then having to pay "the ultimate price" after being chased around by the real author that systematically destroys his life.

I wasn't even close
- and because of that, I loved it.

If you're in here reading this thread because you're pondering watching it I say go for it, it's not going to be what you expect. Think The Notebook - that's all I'll say without spoiling it for you.

That said, I just found it because it was in my IMDB "recommended" list. No marketing fanfare, no word of mouth - but that will come as more people find out about it. The rating will elevate into the high 8's and 9's and then more people will watch this masterpiece.

I never heard of it, but they still made pretty good money with only a $6 million budget.

Agree. Only watched because my fringe told me to. It was very good. But can Cooper ever shave? So annoying.
