Short description

Joanna Mills is a successful professional whose personal life is strained by a distant father and a stalking former partner. Her stability is disrupted by frightening visions of a woman being murdered. Believing she may be the killer's next target, Joanna travels to the victim's hometown to investigate the mystery and uncover secrets from the past.

Directed by Asif Kapadia, this was the first of 10 films in his directorial career. The cast features Sarah Michelle Gellar as Joanna Mills, along with Sam Shepard, Adam Scott, and Peter O'Brien. Produced by Rogue Pictures, Intrepid Pictures, Biscayne Pictures, and Raygun Productions, the film had a budget of 15 million USD and earned 12 million USD at the worldwide box office.

The movie has a rating of 6.2/10 on IMDb based on 328,000 votes and a 6/10 on TMDB from 660 votes. These audience scores are higher than the film critics' rating of 4/10, which was derived from 56 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The city of La Salle, Texas, shown in the film, does not exist. It is a so-called non-municipal territory in Jackson County, whose population in 2000 was only 103 people.
  • The film was initially titled "Revolver," but the title was changed because Guy Ritchie’s "Revolver" was released in 2005.
