Ummmmmm, wow. Where do I begin? This is one of the most dark and disturbing movies I have ever watched. I am not saying I didn't like it, and I'm not saying I loved it. What I am saying is this: Nicole Kidman, amazing. What a strange character to portray. No wonder she was nominated! Zac Efron, this guy is going places! He just gets better in every film he makes. If you are a fan of his, he spends most of the movie in his underwear, just saying. I can't even really give a synopsis to the film other than it's like 'Deliverance' meets 'The Life of David Gale'? I don't even know. I am still in like a "what did I just watch" mood. Strange! But I couldn't stop watching it! Loved the way the music was used. Playing happy songs to add tragedy to sad moments. Also must mention, an insane sex scene that seemed to go on forever, but at the same time really portrayed the lustful, sexual, sad, needy, raunchy, the list goes on. The suspense builds up towards the end with a double murder that I was NOT expecting! Don't worry I didn't ruin the movie for you! Way too much going on here! As a matter of fact now that I think about, yes, yes I did like it. :)
