Saw this tonight, and I enjoyed it for what it is. A couple good twists, even though I saw most coming, still made for a good ride and an enjoyable night at the movies. Definitely deserves better than the sub 20 Tomatometer it has received.

^ I agree. I had 90 minutes to kill last night, so I decided to check it out.
It helped that I had low expectations going in, but was still satisfied with it.

I also had low expectations, hearing that it was the worst movie EVER.
However, it's not bad at all. Intriguing and interesting. Christensen was the weak link, I just don't see him as a good actor. Terrence Howard was very good, and even Jessica Alba was okay.

Regarding what you wrote above in the spoiler hidden text, I didn't know anything going in. I never do. I don't watch trailers, don't look at posters, don't talk to anyone about set-for-release pictures I haven't seen yet that. Only way I can watch a picture. Completely blind - knowing nothing of what is coming. Not even the cast, preferably.

I got it from netflix and I really liked it, not one I would watch again but its a pretty effective thriller with alot of twist that you dont see coming. Hayden Christensen wasnt bad, Jessica Alba was actually pretty good in this. The movie is much better then you expect it to be.
Movie is worth renting though.
