A very intriguing film that made me a bit uneasy in places with the subject matter, but overall it was a pretty good film. Kinda slow, but these types of films often are -- I think they call it Suspenseful. The beginning was a little difficult to wrap your mind around what was going on and getting to the point that you understood the fact that we were seeing a trained psychic ability and not some sort of flashback of flashforward directing. But once you got that "Ah-ha" the rest of the film started making sense. I think this is a see-it-twice film so that you can realize and appreciate the beginning scenes that you were baffled during the first time.
