  Hit or Miss? Miss.

  One to forget
  
  Started off real slow, then appeared to get going and started getting interesting, but the ending was so stupid it ruined the whole film.

  Spoilt completely by the ending
  
  We were riveted for about an hour...thinking what a great psychological thriller and then it became clear they didn't have a clue how to end it.
