The discussion of human nature is one of the eternal themes of the film. The film may tell us such a truth: the most evil souls often appear the most harmless and hide the deepest.
Speaking of the movie itself, the suspense is a bit horrible, and there are no particularly brilliant sections, but they are all linked together.

The cast of the film is not fancy but very important, John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Pitt, Kerry Duval, Alfred Molina, all of them are famous The name, and because the main storyline takes place in a closed motel, the performance of the actors is crucial. Characters with different characteristics, the performance must not only highlight the protagonist, but also the performance characteristics, but can not steal the spotlight, the spoiler reveals the plot, which shows the excellent acting skills of the actors in this movie.
The whole story has no bugs, the shots are never wasted, and the logical reasoning is completely reasonable. No wonder the 2004 Saturn Award for best thriller film will be awarded to this movie.
