Supposedly Hitchcockian thriller (probably because of the resemblance between the youthful killers and their counterparts in Rope) but this is very predictable stuff. It lacks drama and Sandra Bullock's character is a walking cliche.

Very by-the-book thriller. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling both have done much better in their careers than this standard pot-boiler. If you're big fans, check it out, otherwise there's not much else to recommend here.
Though leadened with a plethora of cliches and Sandra Bullock, this minor Leopold and Loeb-inspired mystery thriller is entertaining and occasionally disturbing.
This may be one of the most disappointing movies. It was not only bad, but the end wrapped up an issue without wrapping it up or having any character development. I thought it was stupid!
