A woman travels to a remote Greek island to take a job at a restaurant. Over the time she begins to fall for the owner, an American ex-pat who wants to keep his past hidden.
This is a great looking thriller driven by a great cast. Everyone hits their mark and this is largely a really good thriller. Sure, the film covers ground we've traveled before but the cast and the filmmaking make it a trip that is worth taking.
At the same time, the film has one thing that works against it, and that is the film is much too long. As good as the film is, it needs to be shorter. It's not that there is anything wrong, it's more that the film isn't doing anything that requires this to be 128 minutes. It's not fatal but the film drops from great to good.
Run time quibble aside HAUNTED HEART is worth a look, especially on a rainy night on the couch.
