Test T @TestTest1 Feb 8, 2024 I watched this on DVD. It was one of those disks where I kept having to adjust the volume. The next thing I noticed were the pretty European locations. The story develops slowly, so slowly that it struggles to maintain the viewers attention. It's feels like navigating through a fog, unsure of the destination. There's a lot of self reflection and a few flashbacks which only serve to confuse the plot. It's difficult to tell if Phoebe is going insane, or just taking drugs like her sister had. I also find Christopher Eccleston's acting too severe for comfort. He can swing from cool and reflective to ranting maniac in a single sentence which is great when he's playing a crime boss, but not so good here playing Wolf. Summarising, the movie has an eclectic mix of ideas which don't lead to a satisfying conclusion. It's not terrible but it certainly requires patience.

See more Oct 27, 2011 It is the late 1960's and the world is changing - revolution is in the air and freespirited hippy Faith O'Connor (Cameron Diaz) wants to experience life to the full. She leaves her comfortable middle class home and embarks on a reckless voyage of discovery that will take her to Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and finally Portugal. And that is the last time that her family hears from her. Now 6 years later, Faith's younger sister, Phoebe, (Jordana Brewster) decides to follow in her footsteps - retracing each dramatic episode in her life to try and put the puzzle of her disappearance together. But what she uncovers will rock her very existence - who was the sister she thought she knew?...What trouble was she really involved in? And what really happened on that lonely Portuguese cliff? also stars Christopher Eccleston, Blythe Danner, Patrick Bergin, Camilla Belle, Moritz Bleibtreu, Isabelle Pasco and Nikola Obermann. directed by Adam Brooks. See more Sep 3, 2011 I watched this because it has an odd title and Cameron Diaz in it. Story seemed a light and some scene was totally pointless in regard to her sister's fatal fate. Average. See more Aug 31, 2011 1. The book was better. 2. I haven't seen a great performer acting SO HARD against Cameron Diaz's awfulness since "Gangs Of New York." (Jordana Brewster is pretty terrible too, though at least she is beautiful.) See more Jun 11, 2011 One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Brewster's exposure is not even enough to justify the movie ticket on this one. See more Read all reviews
