I DO recommend this movie as long as you dont go into it looking for the same hum drum suspense type flick.

Agreed. I liked this movie more than I thought, too, when I saw it in January. I'm almost choking saying it, but Timberlake actually does a good job, as do many of the other actors.
I guess I was lucky in that I didn't go in expecting ho hum suspense. Is that a sense you got from the ads when it came out, Flasch? The movie could have gone a number of ways with me, but I wasn't surprised with how they chose to do it.
