My Opinion:

The movie starts off being very weird, but you'll soon be sucked into it's belly where you'll be tossed and turned until you're finally thrown into the final answer to the movie. Patrick Swayze plays a complete @&$*@$ in the film and Drew Barrymore has an unusually sedate role. Jake Gyllenhaal is fantastic in the title role and really does make this a fantastic movie. The down points are that there's no gore, this is really a strong thriller and not a horror and this 'vanilla' version of the DVD is extra-less (but that's why it's so cheap!)
