PLOT SUMMARY: Charles is in a rut with his his distant marriage, sick daughter and lackluster career. He meets the lovely Lucinda on the train and they are immediately attracted to each other. They begin to see each other and eventually end up in a hotel, headed towards an affair. Suddenly, their plans are "derailed" when a thief breaks into the room and beats Charles and rapes Lucinda. They are reluctant to go to the police due to the nature of their relationship, Soon, the thief starts to harrass and demand things from Charles, and thus the roller coaster begins.
MY REVIEW: I really liked this movie! It was suspensful and exciting. The twists and turns kept you guessing til the end. Jennifer Aniston was great - not the usual "Rachelesque" character that we see in her various other movies. Clive Owen was good, his character not entirely likeable, which is ok, because I dont think you're supposed to like him too much anyway. He doesn't really derserve any sympathy for his plight, but still, I had to feel just a little sorry for him. The "bad guy", played by Vincent Cassel (who you may recognize from Ocean's Twelve) was great. Very hateable! Put this DVD in your collection right between Fatal Attraction and Unfaithful (yeah, I know thats not alphabetical, but it's dramatic, isn't it?)
