Amanda Seyfried lives with her sister and is a little messed up in the head. She believes that some guy kidnapped her when she was younger and she escaped. Everyone else in the world does not believe her however. Sis then goes missing and Amanda is convinced the same dude is back and playing silly buggers again. Lo and behold nobody believes her again and she has to take matters into her own hands. She then runs around pissing lots of people off and lying to almost everyone she meets. The big question is who is telling the truth, Amanda or every bugger else?
The story mechanism in this film is actually quite an interesting and simple one. As mentioned the question of the film is wether Amanda is lying or not and this carries nicely throughout, not only that but it makes you as the audience question it aswell. This makes you interested in the character and the pieces of the puzzle she finds along the way. Unfortunately the ultimate conclusion to the mystery does not live up to the entertainment of the film so far. There are bunches of hints within the film as to who, if anyone, is causing all the bother but the final decision on this conundrum is quite a bit duller than it could have been. I must admit it wasn't obvious but that doesn't mean it was exciting. The acting is for the most part good but is a little shaky here and there. Overall a solid film but not gonna win any awards.
Verdict: 3/5
