I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I wonder if Sean Ellis knew exactly what he wanted, the movie is very confusing and ends like that, unexplained what I just saw, who are the duplicates of the characters, are there really duplicates or everything is in the imagination of some of the characters, everything is unclear and chaotic.

If you like slow burn horror movies you may like this more than I did. When I saw it was a English movie I kind thought it would go like this. Hate to be the standard American but not much happens and the dialogue is kind of odd.

Summary (no spoilers)This movie is about a radiologist Gina Mcvey who organizes a surprise birthday party for her dad inviting her whole family for the function the next day she sees herself driving a car in the street so she decides to follow her to her apartment and there she sees a picture of her and her father in this woman's place. While driving back home she meets with an accident where she loses part of her memory later she thinks Stefan (her boyfriend) is another man. So she decides to investigate what's happening to discover something dark.My Review (no spoilers)The plot was really good but the execution was bleak. Most of the parts in this movie was really confusing and arises many questions in the viewer's mind. I would not blame the actors as it was not their fault it was the way the movie was directed. Actually the ending of this movie was predictable and for supporting the genres horror and thriller not so much. NO I would not recommend people to watch this movie.My Rating 4/10

Initially I thought this was going to be a psychological thriller involving doubles / doppelgangers, but it is more like a variation on the familiar "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" theme. In any case, Sean Ellis' direction is better than his script; the aerial shots of London, the super-slow-motion replays of a car crash, and the scenes where people appear "behind" mirrors are stunning. But the story takes too long to get anywhere, and when it does the "revelations" are fuzzy, if not a cheat. I like Lena Headey a lot as Sarah Connor in the Terminator TV series, but here she gives a mostly monotonous performance, and the other actors are in it too briefly to make much out of their roles. ** out of 4.
