It kept me watching at normal speed. I have taken to holding the remote while watching movies in order to "edit" its length and bypass unnecessary scenes. I did use it in this movie but, had to keep it normal most of the time (and even rewinded scenes a few times) in order to understand what was happening!
I felt it was strange that women would open doors without asking who it was even they knew there was a stalker. It annoys me when movies place females acting stupid for the heck of perpetuating stereotypes. I later understood why one of them had a big smile when she opened the door without asking. At the time, it was puzzling. It was also puzzling that the heavy duty security did not include checking for cyber breaches. Again, I understood later on. Griffin was not a very good actor and it was hard to watch him. The cops and the FBI agents were not very believable either. At one point, I started wondering if the cops were part of the whole con. Movie was very good at hiding the "bad guys" for most of the time. I still don't know who was not in on the con, but was happy to see the ending, which I suspected during the last 15 minutes of the movie. I just did not know who else was going to be left standing.
I read some of the "reviews" here and I must say that I did not want mine to be like the ones who think they are here to critique as professionals. I don't need to read a plot summary in a lay person's reviews. That is already in the site's description. I want to read how people felt, what they liked and disliked. Since we all have different tastes, you will have to watch it to make up your own mind. I do recommend you give it a shot, even if you hold the remote for a while!
