Needless to say, I went with low expectations, but came out very satisfied.

I've not seen the trailers, or how the film was billed - but it's definitely not an action flick.
It's hard to classify it as horror - although there are definitely some quease-inducing scenes. Moreover, it's like a hitchcockian classic - a slow boiling thriller, with real depth and poingancy.

I do have a question though: I saw this in Paris, and the closing scene was in Paris. Interested to know if the closing scene was different depending on your country.
