Exciting all the way to the end

I rented this film to see Viggo Mortensen and was rather surprised how much I enjoyed it. Michael Douglas does his usual creepy slimeball turn to great effect and Gynneth Paltrow plays well off him. Someone said David Suchet is under-used and I agree. More should have been done with his small part. As it is I was left wondering why an actor of his calibre was chosen for a few scenes. The alternative ending in the extras was disappointing. I expected something more radically different. Well worth a viewing.
