Kidman should have allowed herself to age gracefully because she looks weird with old lady surgery - @Saturday, February 22, 2014 5:08 PM

If a movie trailer is meant to get you to want to watch a certain movie, then this one failed miserably, cause this movie looks like pure crap. - @Monday, January 13, 2014 7:20 PM

There were a few plot flaws but I was still entertained throughout the whole movie and that's all that really matters. - @Wednesday, November 6, 2013 9:00 PM

If you want decent films with actual storylines, try British films. Not better, not worse than US films, just a little more substance. - @Tuesday, November 5, 2013 7:09 AM

This is one of the top 100 movies of our times - right up their with Street Car Named Desire. A must see! Absolutely great acting by all. Excellent in every way a film should be. Anyone who doubts this should show me a movie that THEY made. - @Tuesday, October 22, 2013 12:11 AM

It's about a murder and the people surrounding the man that committed the murder, but it also focuses on the people who work at a newspaper thats covering it, hint "the paperboy". Its a very intense movie, really dark and pretty scary. I really enjoyed it though! - @Saturday, October 12, 2013 9:01 PM
