No doubt that the thriller was a good idea. But as we have seen similar before they made it into an arty, meaningful, lost dream, wistful, looking back on what could have been, multi layered type of film. It works well and has a great cast that add substance and depth to what could have been just another thriller. Yes It could be argued that it is a case of style over substance but there is nothing wrong in that. Just in case you didn't pick up on the little pointers between the past, the present and the fictional book, the extras add the hammer to explain it. Well worth a watch I thought.
