Rented this last weekend and we were both pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it as a movie. Having seen the previews when it first came out, I really had no interest in seeing it at all. But as a rental, I could suspend my disbelief at times and not be as critical as I might have been in a theater.

As a rental, two thumbs up.

I loved this movie. The only part I really have a problem with is the cell phone not being damaged by the ocean water when he jumped in. In my experience, if a cell phone gets wet for one nanosecond, it's rendered useless.

Kim Basinger looked fantastic, and that lead actor was great, but I've never seen him anything else...and familiar character actors like Richard Burgi and William H. Macy only added to the mix along with a great villain like Jason Statham.

I also rented this movie as an afterthought, but it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable flicks I've seen in a while.

I wasn't expecting much of this movie. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

I liked the whole movie except for Kim Basinger! I know she's meant to be an accomplished actress but it seemed that she overacted in all her scenes... plus the character itself was annoying.

So that's my movie moan for the day .

That's another thing upon close inspection of this movie...Basinger's character is supposed to be a teacher, right? Why wasn't she at school?

Some good lines in the movie, though...

"Good luck with your beauty salon."
WHM: "It's a day spa!"

"You named your kid Ricky Martin?!"

I don't like suspense thrillers but was very pleasantly surprised with this movie.

I just saw this and enjoyed it. I LOL at the day spa comments, especially the end one! LOL

I think she was going back to her house and get her stuff and then go to her school, maybe her school started later than her kid's.

I have never seen 'Ryan' before, he was a great actor.

It was a fun suspensful movie

I think the guy that played Ryan is going to be in the upcoming 'Fantastic Four' movie, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Kappy - I totally agree with you...I had never seen commercials and didn't know what it was about, but the guy at Blockbuster told me it's good. I had the rental for 2 months and barely watched it this weekend (life after late fees...)....I LOVED it. I can't believe how good it was.

Lycanthrope - I never even payed attention to the cell phone thing and jumping in the ocean...you're right...I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Good point :-)

I was on the edge of my seat with this movie.

Kitt - I agree with you on your comment on how Kim Basinger acted....I was annoyed at how SLOW she was when she was explaining "I......have.....been.....kidnapped......please...................help.............me......" If that were me, I would've been shouting, "HURRY DIAL 911 FOR ME NOW!!! MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!"

Other than that, AWESOME movie, ten thumbs up!! :-) :-) :-)

DH and I watched this over the weekend.
I too was pleasantly surprised, and also did not buy the phone surviving the ocean dive.
All in all, not a waste of two hours of my life.
