This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Same cliche of many movies before it, there is no creativity on it, the best thing in the film is the performance of Dakota, she did a great job, but unfortunately they ruin the film with this stupid twist, i was waiting something to surprise me but instead of that it made me disappointed.

I will give it 5/10 rate just for Dakota performance, but actually it deserves 3/10 or less.… Expand

But the child starts talking about an invisible friend who seems increasingly violent and cruel. Robert De Niro takes the lead role and, contrary to many people's thoughts, I don't think he's too old for such roles. He has acted in a restrained and sweet manner, tempered with psychological depth, which shows us De Niro's versatility and his suitability for a wide range of characters, not just the tough mafia bosses who have made him famous. Dakota Fanning was very well too, far from the absolutely annoying performance she'd given us in "War of Worlds" (in which she just screamed constantly as she was dragged across the set). The suspense is built gradually, convincingly and pleasantly. I noticed that some parts are very easy to anticipate and, from a certain point, it doesn't invest in the thickening of the plot, but besides these defects, its a film that fulfills what promises and entertains the public quite well without, however, being brilliant. Worth watching, even if we forget it quickly.… Expand

I think that most critics are missing the point. Yea, the screenplay isn't exactly first-rate and De Niro isn't as good as he used to be, but these kind of movies are out to win oscars, they supposed to scare the shit out of you, I think that most critics are missing the point. Yea, the screenplay isn't exactly first-rate and De Niro isn't as good as he used to be, but these kind of movies are out to win oscars, they supposed to scare the shit out of you, and frankly, I was scared, or better yet, disturbed. This was mostly due to Dakota Fanning's performance, which is nothing short of incredible for a child her age. Again, nothing amazing here, and the ending is contrived and a little maddening, but take it for what it is and you won't be all that disappointed.… Expand

I think the movie was better than what critics seemed to have believed it to be at the time of its release. Not anything I would watch a second time, as the slow burn that the movie had fizzled in the last third. If you turn your brain offI think the movie was better than what critics seemed to have believed it to be at the time of its release. Not anything I would watch a second time, as the slow burn that the movie had fizzled in the last third. If you turn your brain off and don't think about many of the unanswered questions Dakota Fanning's character gave you, then I think there's a solid albeit unspectacular psychological thriller that was mostly forgotten with time.… Expand
