How our actions and decisions effect our own and others lives is the main theme of this intelligent thriller. Nicely paced, acted and directed it is the sort of thought provoking film that is well worth checking out. Tilda Swinton, British art house cinema fave, plays a mother who attempts to cover up a death which her son could be implicated in. What she didn't bargain for was being blackmailed by a handsome stranger who could also implicate her son in the death. The film avoids easy moralising and hysteria in favour of a measured and cooly thoughtful approach which pays dividends as the film is compelling and provocative.
