December 4, 2008its worth watching
facts you should know about it =) *these aren't spoilers"
- It shows some great scenes of new york in the 60's
- the building it's set in is the dakota in new york. John Lennon was shot just outside them gates at the beginning of the movie when it shows the camera move towards it from the air. all interior scenes are also set there
- the actors are very good
- it's an intense thriller which keeps you at the edge of the seat the last 30 minutes.
also do not expect to get scared from this movie.. it's not really that scary. no scenes will make you jump, theres no gore, heck i think maybe a 10yr old would be ok watching it
3/5 stars in my opinion -
