That "thumbs up" advertising on the back from Roeper, of Ebert & Roeper is hilarious. Ebert gave this movie zero stars on his site review.

It's quoting Richard not Ebert. Richard did like it. I think you're reading it as "Two Thumbs Up" and its just Richard's "Thumbs Up" lol.

P.S I like this movie, extremely underrated.

Yeah, I updated my post to eliminate the confusion in how I originally wrote it. It's just hilarious to me that they would advertise it as "thumbs up", which should signal to anyone familiar with the format, that the other person thumbed it down

Yep. It was Ebert's #1 worst movie of 2003

I remember reading it right when it was published, and I just couldn't believe it. I hadn't seen a zero star review from him before that, so it was just shocking. I saw the movie a few years later, and his rating just made no sense to me. I feel his review influenced other critics, and perhaps the views of the general audience to an extent back then too. I'm willing to bet if this came out in theaters today, there would be a more positive reaction to it.

Don't suppose any of you know if this is region free?

Loved this. Finally got around to it and was not disappointed. I'm a fan of Spacey's acting and I always love Kate Winslet. I thought the movie was going a completely different direction and quite liked the climax

BTW, there's a cool Fritz Lang movie with a very similar plot:



I just bought it a couple of months ago and enjoyed it.
