Highly recommended. Suspenseful and you can't help to feel empathy towards the main character.
This was a very good movie. And it was very factual of today's world.
INTERESTING. the story told as a flashback on her life. i liked the many turns in the plot.
A little slow but I do like the complicated characters that have layers like an onion.
