Dream House Review

I saw Dream House on October 4, 2011. I actually really enjoyed this movie. I had been interested by the previews for some time and I thought the concept would be interesting. The movie follows a man named Will Atenton played by Daniel Craig, who was excellent in the role. We see him leave an office at the beginning seemingly retiring from his job to spend more time with his family: his wife Libby played by the beautiful Rachel Weisz, who was phenomenal in her role as well and his two daughters, Trish and Dee Dee. Over the course of the film, he learns about a man named Peter Ward who allegedly had murdered his wife and daughters in cold blood. I don't want to spoil too much of the plot, because you basically have to watch it unfold yourself. You have to pay attention to little details throughout the movie in terms of characters and especially in that opening scene I mentioned earlier. Keep your eyes open for Elias Koteas who seems to be in more movies lately and I am liking that. Daniel Craig develops a friendship with Ann Patterson (played by Naomi Watts) that knows the truth about what happened with Peter Ward. I think I liked this movie because I got a bit of a Shutter Island vibe from it. If you've seen it and then you watch this you might be able to pick up on what I mean from that. I recommend this movie as it was actually a decent cinematic journey and it kept me interested the whole way through. I'll give it a 3/5, but I definitely liked it.
