The film is great to watch and to own on DVD. I watched the film when it first got its worldwide release to cinemas, i have to say that i was very happy with the film... even the trailers makes me think but the film have really made me love the film soooooooooooo much! And also, i think that actor Freddie Highmore had done a wonderful job by playing a cool double role! Well done, dude! It should be a Oscar WINNER film! 5 out of 5!
