Great little twisty thriller with a phenomenal lead performance from Dormer. It's pleasant surprises like this that make trawling through so much direct-to-VOD rubbish worth it. 5 years 10 months ago

Was a riveting film until
the reveal of Sophia's origins
. The trailer, description and first 30 minutes of the film made it seem like it was about a blind girl being hunted. It was very tense and I couldn't wait to see what happened next…

…until
it was revealed that she was actually a badass on a mission to kill the bad guy. Suddenly the tense atmosphere was dissolved, and it became a film of "is she going to kill him NOW?".
That being said, it was still an interesting film. I would have preferred it if the second act was a different film altogether, really. The
twist at the end
, although interesting, only made things more awkward.
Why did she suddenly act like it was a huge shock that she could see? Obviously she knew that it was him the whole time; she saw his face every single time. So why was she so surprised at the end?

I just wish that the plot was separated into two different films. As a whole it just didn't work for me.

…that being said, it was well done. Acting was spot on, cinematography was perfect, and the music was lovely. I just didn't care much for the plot. 5 years 7 months ago
