Synopsis: When a young doctor (Hillary Swank) suspects she may not be alone in her new Brooklyn loft, she learns that her landlord (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) has formed a frightening obsession with her.Despite good performances by Swank and Morgan plus a very nice direction, good production values and cinematography, this movie is just sort of one big long feeling of deja vu. It's the screenplay that drags this down.
There's no twist or suspense really, you know right away what's going on and who is doing it so it just follows along that path until it ends pretty much exactly like you'd expect.
There's pretty much zero character development of the protagonist so you never really get any insight into what makes him click. He just does what he does. Morgan is good, but is dealt little depth to work with. Swank, a great actress, has the same fate. She just get partially naked occasionally and acts confused and scared a few times. That's seriously wasted talent. Speaking of wasted talent, Christopher Lee is in it but is totally wasted also with just a few minutes of screen time.
Overall, it's a watchable film but instantly forgettable with nothing remotely new or surprising.
5/10
