Paranoid

Some of the reviews below read like a 3rd grade class was given a movie review HW assignment.This was an interesting, well made movie.

This DVD came with no defects and the case looks just like the product picture. Jessica Alba is one of my favorite actresses, but I didn’t care for the movie. Wasn’t as good as I thought it would be.

Enjoyable

If you are buying this for Jessica Alba nudity, don't. The story line is good and the acting is above average. However, this movie is nothing special.

excellent

This movie is really a 3 1/2 star movie but I rounded up. Jessica Alba plays a super model who is two-timing her boyfriend with another man. The other man brings her to a old hotel run by a friend of his and soon she is left alone with just the family but is not able to remember if she is being hurt by them or what they might have done to her. Mishca Barton (of O.C. fame) plays a deaf girl who sorta kinda saves the day. Also the bad guy in the movie is someone you just plain hate. He is creepy and disturbing...the movie wasn't bad...but it wasn't scary and the plot didn't come together at the end. They ending was a little disturbing but the movies puzzle as a whole never fit together right. Jessica Alba makes this movie 100%. She doesn't really do a lot in it except say things like, "why are you doing this?!" or, "Let me go!" but she is fun to watch. This movie is not a great movie but it entertains. I would say you should get it if you are a die-hard Jessica Alba fan but stay away if you don't care for scary movies. It isn't scary, but it might scare younger kids. The movie is not rated but if it were it would be a R movie. They use the F word many times and show many woman's breasts throughout the whole movie. The violence level is nonexistent. This is a good movie if you are a JA fan but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise.

Going into this film, I had high expectations. The information on the box make the movie seem a lot more "intense" than it turns out to be. The film is about a supermodel (Jessica Alba) who is cheating on her boyfriend. She goes with her new love interest to his home which happens to be located hundred of miles away from her place of residence, and is also rather isolated from others. She is drugged and held hostage for several days by the now cruel and abusive man she thought she loved. This sounds interesting doesn't it? However the film contains too many gaps of almost nothing being done on screen in between the actual scenes that contain anything that could be considered as action. There are scenes that fill you with suspense, however these scenes rarely occur and are too far apart from each other. This often results in unnecessary dialogue that has nothing to do with the story in anyway, instead it simply distract from the suspense that could have been occurring in its place. The film does pick up, and the ending is rather good. Overall it is a decent film, however don't expect too much out of it.

I admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for cheesy erotic thrillers. Well, this one is neither thrilling, nor particularly erotic. But it's definitely cheesy. I realize that Jessica Alba's character is not supposed to be multi-dimensional, but if she claims to be "a real person with feelings" she should do more than pout and roll her eyes.The "bad guy" looks like a British clone of Jack Nicholson. The features, the facial expression, the tone - it all echoes of "The Shining". Even the notion of the abandoned hotel is used.

Ich bin mir sicher, dass es eingeschweisste Jessica Alba Fans gibt, die alles von ihr kaufen und auch alles gut finden.Ich fand ihn sehr übel. Er war langweilig und die schauspielerische Leistung war nicht herausragend. Musik und Bild auch nicht erwähnenswert. Kameraführung naja.Wir waren eigentlich alle froh als er vorbei war. Eigentlich hat jeder schon nach 30 min gehofft, dass es bald vorüber ist, aber das Ende wollte man dann doch sehen und auch da waren wir enttäuscht.Spart euch das Geld und kauft dafür Klassiker. Sicher besser.Sehr schade, man hätte mehr aus dem Thema machen können.

Diese DVD ist zwar spannend, jedoch vorhersehbarer Ablauf. Trotzdem kann ich sie weiterempfehlen. Es muss ja nicht immer der absolute Reisser sein - wobei die Geschmäcker und Interessen ja auch unterschiedlich sind.

Über 1 Stunde Spannung...Jessica Alba in der Hauptrolle...thriller...wenn es jemand mag ist sehr gut.Ich hatte viel Spaß dabei und gucke immer gerne:-)

für liebhaber dieser art von filmen ist das genau das richtige, preis leistungs verhältnis stimmt, dieser artikel ist auf jeden fall zu empfellen

Trotz der eigentlich recht guten Besetzung mit Jessica Alba und Ian Glen kann dieser Film zu keiner Minute überzeugen und ist einfach nur komplett schwachsinnig, was bei dem geringen Preis aber auch zu erwarten ist ;)- keine Spannung- eine total primitive Handlung ohne Tiefgründe- stinklangweilig von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute- keine Folterszenen (wenn ein Horrorthriller schon scheiße ist, dann doch bitte wenigstens brutal, siehe Saw ;))- sehr flache Dialoge- scheiß Bildqualität (sieht aus wie 1990 ist aber aus 2000)- ein total dämliches Ende (man denkt sich nur HÄ???)- scheiß deutsche Synchro (zumindest bei J. Alba, Ian Glen hat den Sprecher von Nicolas Cage)- schlechte schauspielerische Leistungen ALLER+ unfreiwillig komisch (so schlecht, dass man nur darüber lachen kann)+ Jessica Albas Optik, wie immer ein GenussFazit: Bei dem Preis kann man natürlich nicht viel falsch machen, dennoch ist dieser Film keinen Cent wert, eignet sich allerdings bestens um über die 20 Euro Grenze (versandkostenfreie Lieferung) zu kommen, wenn man zum Beispiel nur ein Musikalbum für 16 Euro bestellen will ;)
