An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since there was a decent cast, I thought I should check it out. Indeed, the poster looked lame and the whole thing just didn’t look really promising. So, there was indeed a nice cast (James Marsden, Lena Headey, Norman Reedus, Kate Hudson, Eric Bogosian) but, above all, I was quite surprised when it turned out to be a decent thriller with a very good premise. Indeed, I really loved the concept they developped which was basically that through gossip you could deeply damage someone's life. So, unfortunately, the movie was not very well directed and the makers didn’t really know how to develop this interesting premise and instead they went for the predictable cheap thrills. That's too bad since it had such potential and it is not very often that I came across a thriller with an actually decent concept. With a skilled and ambitious director, I don’t know, someone like David Fincher for example, it could have been much better but I guess, it wasn’t meant to be. Still, in spite of its flaws, it remains a very interesting premise and an intriguing thriller so this flick is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
