Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

cheergal About the failure of this movie, it did not have right surroundings , atmosphere and actors among others. It's way too clean to be a thriller.The title did not set off audience's alarm, either. It could be a good thriller. Rosamund Pike did a decent performance as a psychopathic nurse. Without her involvement, this movie might be unwatchable. Good thrillers are about the senses of surroundings. Waiting for something terrible happened, then catastrophes followed. This one had little to do on that front. Graphic images are low tech for thrillers. They are supposed to bring scare moments to audiences. This movie should be redone in the future. I believe the contents were applicable and original. Lacking efforts weakened this supposedly good thriller.

neil-progroupafrica Slow paced and disconnected in parts. Poor sound on prison scenes was quite annoying.

SnoopyStyle Miranda Wells (Rosamund Pike) is a hospital nurse. Her friends set her up on a blind date. She finds William Finn (Shiloh Fernandez) on her door step and assumes him to be her date. She lets him in and he rapes her. The police later catches him. She is told that her rape has made it hard to sell her house. Her hands start shaking and she can't advance to be a surgical nurse. Her nice persona changes and she writes a letter to William in prison. It is sent back with Return to Sender. Mitchell Wells (Nick Nolte) is her father and Nancy (Camryn Manheim) is her best friend co-worker.Fouad Mikati's directions are only TV movie level. It's a waste of cinematic level talents of the cast. I have no complaint about the cast but it doesn't rise up to their level. It's also not comparable to Lifetime movies or anything of that sort. It is really disconcerting to see talents wasted this way. One of my pet peeves is the metallic echo when they speak to each other over the prison phones. It's one of the wrong choices that keep this movie down. It's too static with much of the time spent in that prison visiting booth. Any shocking descent is flattened by that stationary camera work. By the time he gets out, the movie is two thirds over and I stop caring about the rest. There is an obvious twist that is done much better in Hard Candy. This would be a good Twilight Zone or a horror TV episode. It's not cinematic enough to be theatrical.

yjudith I was enjoying the movie quite a bit to be honest. Even after the weird stuff with her letting him work on her house, I was like...this is going to be good! WRONG!!!! The scene with him on the gurney was a bust. There's blood on his wrist area and she said something that lead me to believe she cut off his hand. Then he looks under the blanket and I am assuming she cut off his manhood. Somewhere in all this she tells the guy that she killed her dads dog which was how she figured out how much poison she would need for him. Then when he tells her not to leave him to die she tells the guy "I let my mom die...." So by the end of it all, I really didn't care that she was raped because she seemed like a dang psycho who was waiting for something to set her off; I found myself kind of angry about it because it almost was written so one wouldn't feel bad for this woman having been raped. And when she was talking to her dad and the screen went black, I thought it was going to into a 1 month later kind of thing, but no it just ended. Boo!!
