"Robin Williams is unforgettable in a riveting, critically acclaimed psychological thriller based on true events!" is what's printed on the back cover of this movie! This is a very bizarre mind game! That is the best way I can describe this movie! Williams plays a late-night radio talk show host who hears of a story of a young boy and the woman who adopted him from an abusive situation. He then tries to learn more about the boy's identity, but finds himself wrapped up in a very weird mystery. I had never heard of this movie before ("coming soon to theaters near you") or anything. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps this movie was made exclusively for home video. If you've never seen it, and you like Hitchcock-type dramas, then this movie is definitely for you!  :thumbsup: |

I will look out for this movie, which I also have not heard of - but that's not
suprising - I go to the movies about 3 times a year!!!!
Robin Williams would be enough to send me running from the theatre but
a couple of years ago I saw him in "One Hour Photo" (I think it was called)
and I thought he made his character quite sympathetic.

Robin Williams can be a very good actor when he's cast in in the right role and has a director who knows how to rein in his excesses.

Robin Williams has tremendous versatility as an actor. :thumbsup: One other thing I'd failed to mention (which some people may find offensive, although it doesn't bother me), is that the character Williams portrays is also homosexual, and there is a brief interchange between his character and another male character which some viewers may find objectionable. :unsure: His character's sexuality is not important to the movie's plot or development so I'm not certain why it's in there (more of a side-note thing).  The only thing I can think of is that, since the movie was inspired by true events, perhaps the real person whom Williams' character was based on, may have also been homosexual. |

Oknow it's my turn..... This movie was not hard for me to follow not at all I was trying to figure out woman in the show so I was doing a lot of thinking trying to see her problems as well as Robin's chacater. All in all I really enjoyed the movie and will probably buy it.... Nice thriller especially for the mind...

I really enjoyed this movie as well. Robin WIlliams is a terrific actor and I thought Toni Collette did an excellent job as well. She was so creepy! BTW, this movie did come out in theatres but I think it was only for a brief time. Most movies don't stay for very long in the theatre because they make more money off of DVD sales and rentals instead  |
