Not bad but not brilliant
Reviewer: angelus
Date: 22/04/2008
A pretty average thriller with a few twists, most of which to be honest are quite transparent from the about 20 minutes in.
The initial operation is quite gory and will make you feel uncomfortable but as its the premise behind the film it is important and well done.
Apart from that the film is ok and there is one twist I wasn't expecting but overall a bit too predictable.
Still it has Jessica Alba in it so can't be all bad.
