It's sort of built in the same vein as Unbreakable as far as plot buildup is concerned. A lot of people won't have the patience to sit through this or just don't like movies that take this route.

However, I for one don't mind the slow buildup (didn't mind it in Unbreakable either). The tone of the movie is very well done and the plot pacing reminds of Hitchcock in a lot of ways. Really good movie...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, and I'm sure Kidman didn't look like she was acting, either. I'm sure she looked like she actually FELT that way, right? (Psst...that's called acting.)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>Sine, I know you try very very hard to make yourself look intelligent.....but you're still dumb. Yes, good actors will empathize with the character they're playing and not look fake. Psst....I know it's acting. But they did a great job.</div>
