Suspect zero

Did a search and didn't see a thread. Watched it Saturday night, pretty creepy, quite graphic. INteresting concept, didn't totally pull it off. Boy is Ben Kingsley a great actor, last 2 I've seen he was Persian nutjob in the House of Sand and Fog, and now this, he can really play that borderline evil character really well.

You thought his character was evil (or crazy, or both) in House of Sand and Fog?

Yeah, not to spoil the ending but the way it ends is pretty crazy.

I guess evil is a bad choice of words, he does wind up befriending Connelly at one point of course, I guess that's why I said borderline. Maybe frighteningly intense is a better choice of words? That movie was just incredibly depressing to me.

Great actor though.

Agree that he's a terrific actor (House of Sand and Fog was my favorite movie from last year). I thought he was really a tragic character, which led him to do what happened at the end.
