I really liked this film. I thought it had great suspense and the stakes were always high for the lead. Plus, the scenery of the country were beautiful. I, overall, thought the setups were cleverly executed. It was also lovely to see Leighton in a film; she should get hired more.

Well, I enjoyed this thriller
Pleasant to watch murder mystery
Nice scenery of Croatia where this mystery takes place and a good who-done-it flick. A couple of flaws don't spoil the broth and the murderer isn't the murderer. Confused? It comes to a rightful conclusion though and overall pleasant to watch.
An Unthrilling thriller
Yeah I'll be honest I wasn't too sold on this film. It had some positives, but the negatives really outweighed unfortunately.
This was the classic everyone is a suspect thriller, which sounds like it would be good, but it was all just set out so boring. Oh it's this person, 10 mins later "well it's not him", next one. And so on. Just never felt like it got going.
The big twist at the end, it wasn't really a huge surprise, because all the other cast had been removed from the suspect list. Really underwhelming and it kind of illustrates this whole movie, just underwhelming.
My biggest issue was character development, there wasn't any. Within the first 5 minutes, we've already had character introductions, set the scene and now she's gone. Slow it down good lord. Show us who these characters are. It's really hard to gain any sort of connection or emotion to any characters, especially the missing woman since she's been on screen for a solid 2 mins at best.
The acting was a bit naff as well. I thought the main woman was absolutely fine in all honesty, but the sub cast was very B grade to say the least.
But yeah I just found this really dull. Nothing went out of its way to surprise you and there's no "wow" factor either. Constant poor character decisions, no character depth and the obviousness of it really just puts this slightly below an average 5/10. I'd go 4.5 if I could.
