Short Verdict: Nicole Kidman phir se prov karti hain ki who kisi bhi film ko apni acting se bacha sakti hain lekin Holland ka confused script unke liye bhi thoda zyada hai!
Film ka Basic Plot
Nicole Kidman play karti hain Nancy – ek school teacher jise lagta hai uska optometrist husband (Matthew Macfadyen ) kuch chupa raha hai
Ek babysitter ko earring churane ke false accusationke baad nancy ke “shak ka bhoot” aur badh jata hai
Apne colleague Dave (Gael Garcia Bernal) ke saath milkar, who detective ban jati hain… lekin yeh investigation bilkul bakwas sabit hoti hai
Film ki Achhaiyan (Pros)
Niacole Kidman ka Magic:
Nancy ke character ko perfect mix diya hai – funny bhi, tragic bhi
Stepford Wives jaisi role mein bhi kuch naya dikhati hain
Setting & Vibe:
Michigan ke chhote sheher ka claustrophobic feel
Basement mein pada train set (par iska koi matlab nahi hai film mein)
Film ki Kamiyan (Cons)
Script ki Problems:
First half interesting hai, lekin baad mein lot lost ho jata hai
Logic Zero – optomestrist ko itne business trips kaun bhejta hai?
Racism scenes randomly dal diye – koi point nahi
Direction Issues:
Director Mimi Cave (Fresh banana wali ) suspense ko handle nahi kar payi
Ending bohot disappointing – na koi twist, na koi meaning
Kya Hona Chahiye Tha?
Film ko chahiye tha:
1 Coen Brothers wala dark comedy touch
2 M. Night Shyamalan jaisa creepy vibe
3 Basement ke train set ka koi actual purpose (yeh toh bilkul waste gaya!)
Final Ratings:
Nicole Kidman Fans: 3/5 (acting dekhne layak)
Thriller Lovers: 2/5 (plot mein itne holes ki swiss cheese sharma jaye)
Gael Garcia Bernal/Macfadyen Fans: 1/5 (donoko waste kar diya)
