Dream House by Jim Sheridan, 2011 (PG-13)


with Daniel Craig (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), Rachel Weisz (360, The Bourne Legacy, Constantine, Agora, The Whistleblower), Naomi Watts (Fair Game, J. Edgar), Marton Csokas (The Debt), Claire Geare, Taylor Geare, Rachel G. Fox, Jonathan Potts, Lynne Griffin, Elias Koteas, Mark Wilson

Daniel Craig plays Will Atenton, a successful businessman who forsakes New York City for the rural pleasures of New England, only to discover that the tranquil abode he's moved into was the scene of an as-yet-unsolved multiple homicide. Drawn reluctantly into the mystery surrounding the tragic events, Will and his wife (Rachel Weisz) soon begin finding plenty of reasons to worry about their own safety in this psychological thriller.

Not what I expected. It was saying "Psychological Thrillers" and from the trailer, I felt it was more of a horror film (I don't particularly like horror movies). But in the end, it was what it said it was, with an interesting twist of events around the middle of the film that confuses you for a bit and then unravels into a thriller. The acting is impeccable, but I cannot be truly objective, since every time I see Rachel Weisz on screen, she feels like sunshine. And here where all she is is love, she resonates. Anyway, difficult to say anything without unveiling parts of the plot. I recommend.
