Slow paced and disconnected in parts. Poor sound on prison scenes was quite annoying.

I like this movie very much. I think it deserves 7 points at least.Maybe the reason why its underrated is because Miranda poisoned her father's dog. That might hurt the feeling of quite a lot of dog-people.I agree that it is not suitable for everyone. From the "general public" view, Miranda might be a psychopath, who "let her mother die" and poisoned her father's dog. But I think she is strong, smart, and full of courage. She successfully did what people want to but dare not to. She's some sort of "super-woman". The movie heals the depression deep inside.Besides, I am a coward guy but I was not raped.

****************Spoiler Alert****************It's not as bad as most reviews that I read claim it to be. Rosamund Pike delivers an excellent misleading performance. The movie is not about revenge like many people seem to believe. It's more complex than that. The guy was a rapist, but she has always been a psychopath - there are hints scattered all over the movie, including the death of her first patient. - In his "misfortune" he picked the wrong victim, and she found in him the perfect lab mouse to practice with. The plot twist was not a last minute thing. It was hinted all over the movie. Rosamund's poker face performance distracts you from the obvious goal. Like a true psychopath.

I just stumbled on this movie while looking for something interesting to watch the other day. I really liked this movie. I think what really made this movie work was the performance put in by Rosamund Pike. She really pulled me into the storyline. I liked the way the movie kept us guessing as to what she was up to, or if she was up to anything at all. This woman is really a great actress. I thought she was amazing in "Gone Girl" as well. She has the sociopath character down pat. I honestly thought some of the other actors in this movie paled in comparison to Rosamund's performance, but all in all they did a decent job to keep the suspense going. I didn't even realize it was Nick Nolte who played her father until the end. Hard to believe Nick Nolte is that old now. Bottom line is that I think this is a very good drama/suspense movie with really good acting by the main character.
