I've seen a lot of mixed reviews for this film, so I didn't know what to expect. But it was a surprisingly good thriller and is well worth the rental. The late Brittany Murphy turns in a riveting performance as a possibly emotionally disturbed woman whose boyfriend may or may not have been abducted from a hospital during a routine appointment. The screenplay and direction did a good job keeping me guessing the whole time... and there are plenty of interesting suspects including Mimi Rogers as the hospital administrator and Peter Bogdanovich as a skeptical psychiatrist. The action-packed climax is a little over the top, but by the time Brittany turns the tables on her tormentors, you'll be rooting for her all the way. If you liked Flightplan or Shutter Island, you'll like this!!
