I saw this with Lady Eowyn.
I thought it was a pretty good thriller. Nothing great, but worth seeing.

I thought it was a pretty good film up until the part where the cops were interrigating him.
It was such a cop-out ending.

Williams is good, but it is a pretty weak film

I up my grade to a B.
Thinking back, Williams really was superb. The ending was a bit of a letdown, but still a solid flick.

Nothing really special. Just a decent thriller with a great performance by Robin Williams. I guess I'd give this about a C+/B-. Not bad.

Fantastic performance by Williams elevates this beyond your average psychological thriller.

Disregarding my alter-ego's review...
Robin Williams really does well with this dark, chilly material. Flirting with non-comedic roles has been hit or miss for him lately, with Insomnia being the only other film that really works. One Hour Photo works, too, but succumbs to several faults. The screenplay really falters in the last act, with all sympathy for William's character disappearing and the inplasability of the events overwhelming. Still, William's performance should be appreciated for what it is: cold, dark, and menacing in a very unorthodox sense. The sterile, quiet tone of the picture is an added bonus, making this an effective drama/thriller worth a rent, but certainly not much else.

I thought it was a very fine film overshadowed by a superb performance by Williams.

Williams was very good, but the film itself was just decent.

Im with the consensus, I've only seen it once, and thats probably enough. Williams was awesome, and it was a decent overall film.
Williams breaking out with Insomnia and Death to Smoochy and this in 2002 was pretty memorable.
