The British accents mixed in with some German ones from others including Hopkins is the only bad thing about this. It was bettered years later with 'Downfall' but is still engrossing stuff.

It is evident early on in this film that it would have been source material for Liam Neeson's 2011 'Unknown'. It's a good mystery at the beginning as well, where, as the viewer, you really do wonder what happened to Dr. Richard Walker's wife. It lost me a touch nearing the end but is recommended if you enjoy mystery/thriller films.

This movie was written in 3 days, and after 20-25 minutes it felt like that as I wasn't sure if I'd make it through to the end. It got better but isn't as funny as it's intended to be. The best part is when Justin Long (playing Steve Jobs) is hiring someone to do the job he did in those Apple versus PC adds.

There aren't many characters more annoying than Otto West. It's to the point of overkill though. It's to the point of me not wanting to watch the film. I smiled at times, mainly when Wanda is telling Otto how stupid he is, but the comedic moments were a let down. The story is fairly thin as well.

Looked great but ultimately I didn't feel much connection emotionally to the characters which seems to be the main intention of the film, because it definitely isn't the plot. I didn't connect with the children either, found some of the scenes a bit weird between the mother and the kids and the whispering was annoying. Also this 2 hour and 18 minute movie felt much longer which is never a good sign.
