7/10
A great story
11 August 2003
The whole notion of this actually happening is somewhat far fetched, but is very interesting. Ben Kingsley gives one of the best performances I have seen. The performances are limited, but they have to be because of the isolated setting. Sigourney Weaver does a good job as the still victimized woman. Stuart Wilson as the her husband is not all that believable. He just keeps whining and is in denial about everything that has happened.

I love how Kingsley can go from being charming and sweet tempered, to cursing and angry the next. It was a real insight to this character as a man hiding himself. The ending of the film was nauseating, not in a bad way. Roman Polanski is one of my favorite directors, because he has made a lot of good films. 7/10 Good to Very Good
