    I loved the movie because it makes you think and focus on the acting. Its not the kind of movie for people who have become desensitized by sex and violence or for people who are used to movies being dumbed down for them.
  • Beyond a Doubt, the strangest movie I have ever seen, and not in a good way.

    This movie is totally and utterly predictable and too bizarre to be enjoyable. It is so obvious who the blonde is from their first conversation. They tried to make it even more surprising than that, but they failed ultimately because of the lack of emotion in the ending. If they added a few nude scenes I might have been more satisfied. Vera Farmiga is one of the hottest actresses out there. Yet, even that might have been strange due to the 'disabled' theme of the movie. The best scene of the movie for me was when he was going around town in his wheelchair with the nice background music. Very Simon and Garfunkel esque. Other than this this movie really sucked. I get the message of the movie - that painful events or memories can make people do strange things. That was interesting to think about. I just wish they would have made it more mysterious or a bit scary somehow. At the beginning Farmiga does make some scary looking wide eyed faces. However, the characters are mainly just calm throughout the movie. No emotion whatsoever. Is that how people would really act? No, they wouldn't. Avoid this movie and rent something else. If you like Vera Farmiga, try watching Dummy, a comedy. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie is just a plain letdown.
