This was a Horrible movie. I couldn't get passed the first 15, minutes without shutting it off. Later in the evening I continued. I'm so sorry, I didn't listen to the reviews of other. I'm sorry I wasted my $14.00. I seriously, honestly, want my money back. This movie is going in the GARBAGE. Please, don't tell me I don't understand it. Not much to understand. The only reason I gave it one star is because I couldn't give it a -5. . I am really shaking my head.
This movie honestly lacks any interest. I don't understand all the hype I heard about. The movie moved at such a slow pace it was like watching a turtle race. While the attack scene was disturbing the rest of the movie was horrible. The revenge all took place in the matter of the last 5-7 minutes of the movie. I'm sorry I purchased it. I hope the remake is better for I purchased that one too.
What's great about it: The nature scenes and birds chirping.
What's not so great: accept for the nature scenes and birds chirping. Everything was horrible.
This is one of the best horror movie I have every seen. It scared me from beginning to end. I was truly freaked out for the whole movie. I had chills running up and down my spine. I had nightmare about that little boy that night after watching the movie. I'm not one to scare to easy but, this movie did for me. The ending totally gave me goosebumps. I hope there is a part II.
What's great about it: Everything

Guess I might be bias :-) I just love the sound of Johnny Depp's voice. The interview is quite interesting. What a shy, soft spoken individual. :-) he is. You wont be disappointed. Enjoy. ;-)

Fans of the 1963 thriller Charade will delight in Universal's star-studded remake The Truth About Charlie. This disc, while lacking in many groundbreaking extras, does contain one shining feature: the full-length version of Charade starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, this original film looks beautiful. The mono soundtrack is paltry compared to the 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound found on the modern-day remake, but it still sounds adequate. On the main feature, "The Making of 'The Truth About Charlie,'" is a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes featurette with all the major players taking part. Thandie Newton talks about what fun it was to film this movie in Paris, while director/writer/producer Jonathan Demme explains why he wanted Newton in the title role. The featurette contains interviews, off-camera shenanigans, and scene shots from around Paris. Viewers even get to see off-camera fans drooling over Mark Wahlberg. In other features, there's a tiny collection of marginally enjoyable deleted scenes. Then there's a featured audio commentary with Demme, production notes, biographies, and the theatrical trailer.

Good Movie
ByMoviecritic
The Truth About Charlie is a pretty good movie. I think more people would have liked it if it wasn't a re-make of Charade. Charade was a much better movie, but I think this movie is worth watching. Hopefully, you'll agree with me.

Thanks, for you review. I was undecided. I've had it in my cart for sometime now. I guess I will give it a shot.
