Widow and mother of three, Annie Wilson (Blanchett), makes her living by foretelling others futures...though her own has become cloudier than even she can see.

It is one of the many that was given to me in a box of DVDs. And I am really thankful... because I enjoyed this one quite a bit. A good thriller with a slight supernatural twist. This one has a nice selection of big name stars. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't done so yet. My Rating: 4/5 |
