    Unconvincing story
    This was a so so thriller. But the stars are good.

    It's always nice to see Amy Adams. She gives this role her all with the disheveled frumpy look. Julianne Moore is under utilised. Gary Oldman should dye his hair he looks unrecognizable.

    Rear Window showed things that happened next door quite clearly. But here the events next door are shown too quickly and not focussed on so it was hard to catch.

    The story isn't that well written. Things aren't properly explained in the end. And the result on the other characters is glossed over. So the ending feels rushed and cliched.

    Didn't buy the twist about her family being dead. Doesn't feel plausible she could have forgotten or put it out of her mind.

    Won't miss much if did not see this movie.

    Rear Window, meets Sorry wrong number.
    Tried to watch this film yesterday turn off 30mins through, made me think of, James Stewart,ans Barbra Standwick straight off, but it was so boring, I have seen more exciting scenes, and plots in the flintstones,Gary Oldman must have been really, inbetween films to sign up for this outing,and Amy Adams is worth more than this.

    Was disappointed,as you got got my blanket,popcorn wine and got settled for a good thriiler,but ended up watching a old faithful instead.

    I love the actors that are starring in this film and a fee is a fee to any actor but this as a big thumbs down to me, just goes to show you you cant better the best version of a story.
