I saw this, because it was based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith. But either it was an uncommon bad novel or an extraordinary sloppy adaptation, in any case: the film is virtually unwatchable.
There are plot holes of the size of mine fields and our gullibility is stretched to inhuman dimensions.
Robert stalks Jenny. When she finds out, she invites him for coffee and then stalks him instead. She also quits the relation with her boyfriend Greg. Greg is not very happy with this and gets into a fight with Robert.Then Greg disappears and Robert becomes a murder suspect. Jenny has come to the idea that Robert is a messenger of death, so she kills herself. Then somebody shoots at Robert. Greg has come back and now he has a liaison with Robert's ex-wife. And so on
The confusing plot is executed in a polished manner, but no matter what, it is very hard to relate to any of these characters
0,5/10

| One of the most uncaptivating thrillers I have seen; suspense-free and 100% confusing |
