Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

An attractive small town nurse is raped in her house after she is confused about her blind date. Then, the story turns about her struggle with the trauma and loses its initial tempo. The plot also gets incredulous in this part. The end comes with a predictable twist. Good acting from R. Pike and N. Nolte while S. Fernandez's acting seems a bit theatrical with his smirky face all along as if to remind us that he's the bad guy who never gets rehabilitated. All in all, a decent but forgettable project.

I was enjoying the movie quite a bit to be honest. Even after the weird stuff with her letting him work on her house, I was like...this is going to be good! WRONG!!!! The scene with him on the gurney was a bust. There's blood on his wrist area and she said something that lead me to believe she cut off his hand. Then he looks under the blanket and I am assuming she cut off his manhood. Somewhere in all this she tells the guy that she killed her dads dog which was how she figured out how much poison she would need for him. Then when he tells her not to leave him to die she tells the guy "I let my mom die...." So by the end of it all, I really didn't care that she was raped because she seemed like a dang psycho who was waiting for something to set her off; I found myself kind of angry about it because it almost was written so one wouldn't feel bad for this woman having been raped. And when she was talking to her dad and the screen went black, I thought it was going to into a 1 month later kind of thing, but no it just ended. Boo!!

Whatever happened to the concept of having a drawing board?The introduction of the lovely female protagonist, followed by her made-for-TV on-screen rape ordeal, had me awkwardly pessimistic, yet cautiously hopeful for a sensitive handling of such a hideous subject.The victim tracks down and visits the rapist in prison, who demonstrates genuine remorse. Like a true angel of forgiveness- an example to us all, she accepts the olive branch of repentance and displays colossal enormity of heart by forgiving her aggressor. Upon his release, she extends her open-hearted generosity of spirit still further by inviting this newly rehabilitated soul to her home.Whilst he helps her to fix up her house, it transpires that her elaborate plan all along was to ultimately manipulate him into a vigilante revenge trap sting, in order to dispense 'real justice' by rendering him helpless and chopping his bits off etc. At this point, viewers can be forgiven for sympathising with either, neither, or both.The piece completely cheapens, and mishandles the subject of rape and sexual violence. It is abhorrent in its representation of victims of such crimes. It undermines good programs that arrange meetings between perpetrators of crime and their victims. It arguably breeds cynicism towards the principles of rehabilitation, forgiveness and redemption, whilst potentially seeding audience sympathy for an ugly and, sadly, all too common 'eye for an eye' philosophy.I'm sure, looking back, the actors (hopefully), and others involved, are extremely embarrassed to be on record as having been involved in this road-kill movie. Conversely, it wouldn't surprise me to hear that some of those involved were initially misled in relation to its ultimate toxicity...To finish, I'd like to establish that I don't automatically object to movies that have graphic scenes like rape, violence etc. A great example: Lilya 4ever. Bleak. Shocking. Brilliant. There are also many examples of brilliant revenge plots that thrill the rational viewer intelligent enough to suspend their disbelief beyond supporting violent vigilantism outside the world of screen! So... Whatever happened to the concept of having a drawing board?It absolutely astounds me that 'Return to Sender' seemingly never saw one. Apparently it is even playing on Sky Movies, so they seem to be a drawing board short of a shiit flick themselves!Cringe factor 10. Of course, watch and post if you agree, disagree or whatever! Just don't pick it if it's a one night, one movie deal!Boom Shanka :)

I just stumbled on this movie while looking for something interesting to watch the other day. I really liked this movie. I think what really made this movie work was the performance put in by Rosamund Pike. She really pulled me into the storyline. I liked the way the movie kept us guessing as to what she was up to, or if she was up to anything at all. This woman is really a great actress. I thought she was amazing in "Gone Girl" as well. She has the sociopath character down pat. I honestly thought some of the other actors in this movie paled in comparison to Rosamund's performance, but all in all they did a decent job to keep the suspense going. I didn't even realize it was Nick Nolte who played her father until the end. Hard to believe Nick Nolte is that old now. Bottom line is that I think this is a very good drama/suspense movie with really good acting by the main character.
