Ratings and reviews

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Some great performances, especially from Tuppence Middleton in the lead role. She heads back to Niagara Falls, where she grew up, to try to solve a mystery that has haunted her since she saw a young boy being abducted, when she was 10 years old. The fact David Cronenberg appears in a full frogman suit from the foot of the falls is worthy of renting / buying this film alone but, rest assured this is a great movie that will stay with you for long after you watch the final scene. Thoroughly recommended.

Tuppence Middleton and David Cronenberg are superb in the two central performances. What an ending too! Need to re-watch.

Slow and boring
