Those faithful to my blog will probably have realised that I have become quite a fan of Christian Slater, and I found this, his latest movie to be up to his usual impressive standard.
The movie tells the story of a best-selling writer, Wes Wilson (Christian Slater), who after receiving praise for his book revealing how honesty is the most important thing in a relationship, realises that he doesn’t know the love of his life at all! He makes this discovery following the disappearance of his fiancée Samantha (Sarah Ann Schultz). After she has been missing for a whole year, she is presumed dead, and Wes gains access to all of her possessions, including the contents of her safe deposit box. He also finds out from her lawyer that everything he knew about her life was a lie.
Wes and his new girlfriend Nicole (Christa Campbell) decide to find out the truth, but they’re not the only ones. Samantha’s ruthless ex employers are also after what she has been hiding inside the safe deposit box, and will stop at nothing to get it…
This is quite a tense movie, and full of twists and turns throughout the plot. It is also action packed, and quite reminiscent of Christian Slater’s recent TV drama “My Own Worst Enemy”. There are so many lies to uncover, that you can never be quite sure who to trust (except of course for Wes, the central character). Great movie, but you really need to keep up with the twists along the way!
