...ultimately, 3/4 of Peacock is probably more compelling than 4/4 of a lot of a lot of other flicks you'll come across. Go to Full Review
Christian Toto Washington Times 05/06/2010
While the film can't measure up to its psychologically bent scenario, it's still an intriguing choice at the local DVD store or on-demand service. Go to Full Review
Debi Moore Dread Central 05/06/2010
4/5
Unlike a lot of cinematic peeks into the world of dissociative identity disorder, the script by Lander and Ryan O Roy doesn't spend a lot of time examining the "why" of John Skillpa's life but rather focuses on the ramifications of the "how". Go to Full Review

87/100
A surprisingly effective (given its miniscule theatrical release) sub-Hitchcock thriller with an excellent cast, Go to Full Review

Briana I. @Anaire 22h This movie was weird as heck in all the right ways..it kept me engaged and interested the entire film. Cillian Murphy was absolutely amazing in this omg it wasn't his first role as a female either but this one was very significant and good. The whole movie was very good very disturbing and just crazy. Good performances from all the actors especially Paige and Moore. I'd recommend if you want to watch something completely out of the box. See more Swathi R @paroxysmalpsychosis Jan 3 This movie has climbed to one of my all time favorites. Cillian Murphy is a force of nature. Such staggering talent (and humility) in one man. The story is genius. The screenplay, direction, dialogues and the acting have brought out its nuances and gravitas. Murphy is devastatingly and utterly convincing as two completely different individuals living the same life as husband and wife, never meeting each other, never knowing each other's stories or memories. The ending did feel a tad abrupt, but fitting. It ends in intentional ambiguity, leaving the audience unsettled. Unfair that it got such a low rating here. You'll see what I mean. Hats off to Murphy. Should have won an Oscar a long time ago. To think Johnny Skillpa is also Tommy Shelby... See more Nathan O @Nate1000 Dec 16 This movie had a lot of potential with the cast and concept but ultimately flops to create any meaningful suspense and nose dives at the end. See more Phyllis M @RT49713640 Jul 6 It was stupid and the ending was even dumber!!! How can a good actor like Cillian Murphy appear in such trash??? See more Holly @Hollydalziel 04/22/2025 Its classy and smart.. doesn’t go into depth but defo has a Hitchcock feel .. cilllian makes a beautiful woman btw See more Jake F @RT32381744 11/13/2024 Originally I was confused by this cinematic creation, as I myself tried to uncover the story I seemed lost. But then I noticed the little boy who I have got to say is quite the cutie patootie as well. Jake From Peacock is my idol and saved this movie from being a bust. I have got to wonder what Jake will achieve in his adulthood and can only imagine what he is doing today. See more Read all reviews
