TomSawyer 2112 I can't believe this movie has such a low number of views and reviews.I came to this movie, because of Brittany Murphy, in fact it was the only movie of her I didn't see. Shame on the medias, for not giving it the publicity it deserves.As some wrote, this is an excellent Film Noir, it may have been better without color, but then the colors of an ancient hotel where nothing has been changed since its opening is just a very good choice. It gives a bit of Barton Fink feeling, though the plot is nowhere as crazy.The plot unfolds before us, not in a straight line of time in the beginning, and for an enjoyable while, you ask yourself, who knows what you know? Very clever.Some may critic a lack of action. But that's what makes this movie so great. There is a constant tension, and twist of minds, with very well depicted characters, who may or may not become an accomplice. Brilliant.And the end shows a final slow motion scene, maybe just to make fun of all the people who can't enjoy and stay awake, unless they are shot with constant action scenes.I was very tired late at night, when I started watching the movie, and I didn't think I could finish it.But I knew right from the start, this movie would be a little jewel, because the intro is first class, with excellent music too.And it even motivated me to write this review, straight after. That's the best compliment I can give.

zif ofoz there's only one thing i can say about this movie - "WATCH IT"!!what a great story and great acting. i noticed some of the other reviewers labeled this movie as predictable and boorish. i completely disagree. this movie has great style and personality and a consistency that never changes.the setting is an old (but once very nice) inner city hotel going to seed and it lends to the story just the level of character needed to support the background of our characters - Julian, Terry, and June. none of these characters come from a desperate or needy background and are most likely normal middle class people that find themselves in a desperate, needy, and dangerous situation. and they are unprepared for the consequences of their actions - maybe!one more delightful element in this movie is the use of color! a great job in lighting and photography!

Sunshine Fish I loved this movie!!! I didn't think it was predictable at all! It had A LOT of twists which in my book made it a very good thriller!!The movie jumps back and forth in the story line, showing what happened at the beginning and then at the end and eventually connecting it altogether. By the end of the movie your on the edge of your seat! This movie really makes you think.You think you know what's going on in the story and then everything changes!I would definitely recommend seeing this if you are looking for a good psychological thriller! It's one of the best thrillers I've seen!!

JarfGartz An interesting story, though a little predictable.The suspense was upheld throughout the movie, and there was real tension in many scenes, accomplished through a nerve-wracking score and drawn-out scenes that got my teeth grinding.I immensely enjoyed the cinematography and effects .. it created a dark and brooding atmosphere that had me mourning the conclusion before it came about.The acting was fairly good, no real complaints. I especially enjoyed the hotel concierge character, who added an old-school feel to the film.Overall, I definitely enjoyed the movie, although I found the story to be almost too simple for its length; it felt like a short story stretched to fit a feature length film.
