Dream House (2011) is a mystery/thriller movie that offers up some cool unexpected twists and turns. The cast includes Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Naomi Watts. The performances from Watts and Craig are quite good, but in my opinion Weisz just wasn't all that good in this movie. Rachel Weisz is a good actress and I've seen and liked her in other movies, but her performance here felt hokey and kind of fake to me, I just didn't buy her acting, especially in tense situations her character goes through. I thought Craig and Watts were both very serious and portrayed their characters very well and on point, just cannot honestly say that about Weisz though. The script could've been better, won't lie, I've seen a whole lot worse though. The plot twists in the movie are very unexpected and will for sure give you a surprise, but I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone. The movie's ending is well filmed and acted out, but maybe just a little too short, maybe stretching it out just about a couple minutes would've been best. Dream House is the type of film that you watch for PURE popcorn entertainment. There is no deep hidden important message about life, and it's not a movie that succeeds at every little thing. But I would suggest it as an average thriller with some warm welcomed twists. 7/10 for Dream House.
