Similar to Looking Glass
A psycho- sexual thriller following a couple that buys an old motel in the desert looking for a new beginning, but what seemed at first as an escape is soon a thrilling ride through a mysterious world when Ray discovers a two way mirror and witnesses a horrifying murder. In a twisted game of cat and mouse, Ray must race to save his wife and himself from a gruesome secret connected to the motel and the strange people who visit there.

It's nice to see Cage get through a movie without doing the thing he usually does, but _Looking Glass_ is pretty much a non-event. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
Nothing anywhere near perfect, or even super logical, but I still enjoyed watching <em>'Looking Glass'</em>. It builds up the tension and darkness well, with the ghost town feel to everything. The cinematography, particularly the lighting, is rather nice. The premise and its execution, while intriguing, does have problems, but the two leads are fun to watch. Nicolas Cage (Ray) and Robin Tunney (Maggie) make for a good pairing, both give satisfactory performances. Marc Blucas is, I thought anyway, pretty decent in his role as Howard; though the writing does let his character down. Other negatives for the film include the average music and crappy opening credits. Overall though, I felt suitably entertained by this.
