From the previews I'd seen a month or so ago, I thought I was in for a chase-suspense-payback thriller. Instead, I got a bunch of scenes with Kidman still looking hot and her co-starlet (sorry to say, Mr Gere) "Repugnant Woman" looking constantly forlorn, troubled, miscast and dull --- the dialogue came quick and seemingly pointless at times and the end turned into a rather silly thing...dare I call it a twisted, surprise ending? --- bad boy in a cage...Julia, you repugnant psycho you!!! The flashbacks came and went so quickly, one had to either measure hot kidman's hair or pay attn to what's-his-name's salt and slightly peppered hair in order to, dare I say, follow along??? A mosque, a stable, a baseball game, a chopshop, a cage.....I couldn't wait for this to end---I guess I need to see the French version (with or without subtitles---it wouldn't matter).… Expand

It is the first time I registered to write a review on a film database as I am so disappointed of the film and wasting two hours of my life, so that now I am even spending a half an hour more for a review, what an injustice!

The film is such a cliché. I did not believe in the main idea of the plot twist – the reconstruction of the past by writing a novel. Not a minute. The love story of those lawyers was so dull and had a predictable end that almost made me cry. Last ten minutes caught my attention as the mystery was resolved, but please don't say it was something new and unexpected.

The acting of that young husband was senseless, so you could only believe from main character's words, that he was in such a big love – this was not possible to understand due to character's lack of emotions. And a make-up! These wrinkles around their eyes – what a disaster.

And so on, and so on. Unbelievable. How can this have a score of 8.6, come on – 8.6? Really? And how could you, BBC, how did you dare including The Secret... to the list of 100 greatest films of the 21st Century, how? I will not able to fall asleep if I do not find a reasonable answer why even The New Yorker rated it 100!

And what is the point of their eyes? Did not see any difference in any eyes of heroes comparing with other mystery dramas. Or is it due to these artificial unconvincing wrinkles?..

2 points go for the football stadium scene, which was interestingly shot indeed.

After this evening apparently gonna enjoy books and reading celibacy for months as this piece almost destroyed my believe in cinema, user scores and authority of critique.… Expand
