A good cast is enacting this fancy rubbish; what drew them to the material besides its self-conscious cleverness is beyond me.

An ingenious thriller molded from Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". The film's incredibly entertaining even with the measurably predictable twist.

'Uno de los mejores thrillers realizados en los últimos diez años, por lo que sería un verdadero crimen perdérselo.'

Mangold needs to feel he's wowing us instead of just entertaining us; amid the confusion, the really scary moments pass you by.

One of the most engaging experiences you will have at the movies, it is a taut and intelligent hybrid of a thriller that has as many effective ideas as a mind has brain cells.

... Identity is a rarity: a good movie made better by a twist you won't see coming.
