Description

Documentary filmmaker Danny Hart boards a train heading to upstate New York to interview the subjects of his latest project. A chance encounter with a mysterious young woman leads him on a journey of a very different sort, and Hart is forced to leave his complacent life behind for a world in which the line between fantasy and reality is blurred. As Hart tells his story to Detective Martin, he finds himself being questioned as Martin tries to figure out if Hart is the victim or the suspect.

OK. As I had read the book and knew the plot it's hard to evaluate this film from that perspective. Far too much unnecessary sex and nudity portrayed when just a hint would have done. Average film.
Had me guessing right up until the very end. I like Gone Girl and loved the similar read. Lots of twists and turns.
Thriller leve, para todos os efeitos um passeio hitchcockiano forjado com tensão, elementos de voyeurismo, auto-aversão e intenção assassina misturados em um coquetel volátil gentilmente mexido pela autora. O quebra-cabeça de como as várias peças pessoais e narrativas eventualmente se encaixam exerce interesse, mas os personagens são severos e adimensionais em seu mau comportamento confessional psicodramático que gera um certo voyeurísmo pornô
