Yet another disappointment, yet another "fallen hero". After "Fight Club" I was expecting something a bit more lively and twisted, but it looks like Fincher has fallen into the arms of commercial business, where you get simple movies for simple minds. The movie is totally flat. 20 minutes after the the start, you already know the end in details. Standard set up with standard characters and standard situations. He tried to imitate Hitchcock's style, but failed miserably after a good start, losing all suspence for high predictability and poor situations.
The only thing I really liked of this movie is the camera shooting, the use of moving cameras: THAT is a remarkable side of this otherwise poor movie. The camera moves smoothly and slowly through walls, following people and action in a nice way and creating very nice effects. The scene in the beginning when the guys try to enter the house is probably the best in the movie: don't miss that one!
