Cast: Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Noami Watts
Type : Thriller/suspense
Synopsis :This is actually a rather heart-breaking movie. Its sad, but of course with a sorta happy ending. its a little bit similar to a movie acted by Nicole Kidman, only that this 007 guy actually the survivor of this story. William Attenton (Daniel Craig) quitted his job in the city to be spending time with his family (Rachel Weisz and 2 daughters). He got home, had all the father figure character in place, suddenly one of his girls saw a man outside his house. He took a look and saw no one, until the next day he saw foot prints along the window where his daughter saw a man, to the back door. That was when he got suspicious and went investigating. Bla bla bla, he found out that there was a family of 3 died in that same house about 5 years earlier, and the man responsible was the father in the family.
Naomi Watts played his neighbor Ann Patterson, but didnt reveal what has happened 5 years back but keeps on giving that mysterious looks everytime she and Will bumped into each other. Its annoying. Will and his family got harrassed and stalked, the kids were scared until he went to find out who the murderer was at the mental instituition. Yeah, the murderer was not jailed for life because they couldnt find any evidence against him to put him in jail, but instead to the mental ward. Of course, he couldnt find that guy who murdered his own family, but just to find out that he had a picture of Libby (Rachel Weisz) with his other belongings and yes, he was released from the mental instituition. He went back home, explained to his wife of the incidence, they got worried, and he went back to the instituition to get the footage of how the guy looked like... and..tada..!!! Its him. Will Attenton.
His name was not Will attenton, its something else, i dont remember but ann patterson tried to explained to him in between the movie. Well, his wife, Libby and the kids are actually dead. He saw them because he was in denial. He didnt kill them, some intruder who actually being paid to kill Ann Patterson by her estranged ex-husband due to the divorce thingy... Its all about the money. The intruder got in the wrong house and killed wrong peiople. Until then when Will got back, the husband tried to plot another murder, to accuse Will for killing Ann. But Libby's ghost saved their lives by distracting the intruder and estranged ex-husband and walla! the killers died in the explosion, Ann and Will were safe, Will had to let go Libby's ghost in the burning house. In the end, Will wrote a book about his tragedy and became bestselling book, I guess.
Owh, forgot to mention the house where he used to live with his family turned old, empty when he found out he was actually the father.
Conclusion: In my opinion, this is a good movie. Good plot but there are rooms to improve. I love it when the house from lively turned awry, old and empty. Libby was gone and came back. Well, Daniel Craid did pull it out great, not that I'm a big fan of him. Not at all. but i love Rachel Weisz though. Its worth watching. I'd give 8.5/10 for this movie.
