It was all going kinda well and i was enjoying the suspense that seems to be pushing to a great showdown at the end. And then there was no showdown and no ending.

Reasons for me not wanting to watch this movie: - I am completely dependent on subtitles - it's a Cannes movie - Roman Polanski Why did I watch it ? Eva Green. I felt like I'd watched the movie before because there are many like this one. It was in itself rather useless as I didn't think it adds anything of value. The writer in this story acts very naive. There is a certain suspense and build-up towards an unsatisfying (for me) end. Because that's just it: it ends. I rate this a generous "5" but that's at least one point for Eva Green who has the ability to turn from a beautiful woman into a creepy, scary maniac literally in the blink of an eye.

The only respite I had from this predictable, ridiculous and insulting imitation of _Misery_ and Polanski's own _Ghost Writer_ was when I was lucky enough to fall asleep. Sadly, it was not a long enough nap to entirely avoid Eva Green prancing about a cardboard set. How soon until we're able to officially state that she's almost as massively overrated as Polanski?
