2 Dead, 11 injured
2 Dead, 11 injured007 himself Daniel Craig appeared in the film "Enduring Love" just two years ago which could almost mirror the events of this past weekend. Daniel appears in "The Invasion"
Among the witnesses are Joe, (Daniel Craig), an academic who was picnicking with his girlfriend, Claire, (Samantha Morton), and Jed, (Rhys Ifans). Over the non-religious Joe's objections, Jed insists they pray for the dead man.
Back in London, Joe becomes more and more discomfited by the unsettling presence of Jed, who phones him, visits his flat, and follows him wherever he goes.
Jed is insistent that Joe loves him, Joe is so frustrated and intimidated by the situation that his relationship with Claire begins to suffer. A visit to the dead man's widow reveals that she suspects her husband was having an affair.
Joe Penhall's adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel follows the original closely until the end, when there's a sharp deviation.
This may annoy anyone who's read the book, though it has the seal of approval of McEwan himself, who is credited as the film's associate producer.
The ending aside, this is a gripping story of obsession, in which Rhys Ifans gives his best screen performance yet as the deranged and seemingly unstoppable Jed.
It's a horror film, really, but a very realistic one which deals with everyday events and relationships and then adds a wild card in the form of a madman who just won't go away.

Over the non-religious Joe's objections, Jed insists they pray for the dead man.
Back in London, Joe becomes more and more discomfited by the unsettling presence of Jed, who phones him, visits his flat, and follows him wherever he goes.
Jed is insistent that Joe loves him, Joe is so frustrated and intimidated by the situation that his relationship with Claire begins to suffer. A visit to the dead man's widow reveals that she suspects her husband was having an affair.
