I liked elements of this crime-thriller from Dario Argento that has some genuine suspense however there are many scenes that are silly and makes little sense. But I liked the cast, namely Stefania Rocca and Liam Cunningham, who were great together. This is one I actually think there's a blueprint for a remake. **3.0/5**
