Too late she senses that there's someone there. Decent to watch on a slow Sunday afternoon perhaps.Ī blind reclusive war photographer is living in a penthouse in New York, when she is experiencing that someone has come into her apartment. ![]() Yeah overall not a great movie, but not a complete disaster either. As far as the story goes, we've kinda seen it all before although minor details feel fresh but they could have done so much more with it. Barry Sloane is the third lead in the film and he's just okay, not bad but he doesn't come across as terribly menacing either and doesn't have the same star-power charisma that helped Keaton to make his role a bit better than it was. And even though Michael Keaton never feels truly threatening his screen-presence speaks for itself and makes it work somehow, it helps that Monaghan portrays her characters fear very well.

I am not sure how her past of being a photojournalist in Afghanistan helped developing the story either, as far as I am concerned they didn't even have to mention why she was blind. The beginning is very strong and has a few "Edge- of- your- seat" – moments, but it doesn't keep this pace up, especially since there aren't any twists besides one tiny one at the beginning. Review: I have never heard of that movie before but I thought I give it a shot, and it was not a bog let down, but I wasn't blown away either. It turns out that Ryan does have a secret and, which gets Sarah in great danger.
