Review:

Honestly this could been the longest review I could have written. However I do NOT want to ruin anything about this film for anyone. All that I can hope is that you will read this blog, see how highly I rank this movie & then go out & watch this film. Ellen Page is incredible, which is saying a lot considering how much I do not like her. Patrick Wilson is just as good. Easily one of the best movies I have seen. Be aware that it is not for the faint of heart. There isn't anything to gruesome involved but a lot of what is implied is. It does kind of run slightly longer than it should have.
