This thriller wants to feel like a fever dream to put the viewer inside the might-be-unstable mind of our protagonist and make us wonder what is real but it ends up seeming overwrought and, at some points, just plain silly. Director Joe Wright fills this adaptation of the bestselling A.J. Finn novel with lots of heavy-handed Hitchcock visual references and with filmmaking that aims for the hallucinatory. It’s even more of a letdown because the cast features top-notch actors. A perpetually on-edge Amy Adams is the agoraphobic on depression meds who thinks she sees a murder. Julianne Moore injects crackling energy into the proceedings as a neighbor who drops by Adams’ apartment. Gary Oldman gets, sadly, little to do as a businessman who wants Adams to mind her own business. There are twists, but the final reveal cheapens the whole thing, turning what was a psychological thriller into a serial-killer flick.
