I thought something wasn't right?


Since I am a fan of Bill Moseley and watching the guy lying there on the table, I thought something was up. He didn't look right to me or even sound right, I kept asking myself is that really him or a stand-in? I got my answer in the end.

I KNOW!!! I kept looking at the guy's face and I'm like, *beep* how bad could the crash be to ruin the face to be so unrecognisable to fans. >< I didn't really think much of the voice cause while it was rather off at times, I just thought it was Bill being well Bill. I mean I do recognise his characters by their voices but I thought he was trying something different. Now I'm gonna go bang my head a couple of times for not realising it sooner.

But seriously, you get Bill Moseley in your film and you give him that kind of screen time? If it was me, I'd use Bill for the torture scenes anyway as most films would. Yea, you'd get people complaining but I'd rather have more Bill.

Yeah, same here. I think the director seemed unaware that some viewers are fans of Bill Moseley and would thus realize instantly when the guy was very clearly NOT Bill Moseley. It's kind of a shame, really. Moseley got almost zero screen time, and it also gives away the "twist" of the movie before the torture even begins. By the time the movie reveals they had the wrong guy, the viewer has already known it for about 50 minutes.

I don't know who Bill Moseley is, but, the kind of subconscious thought did pass through my mind that he looked different than how I remembered from earlier scenes. But I didn't really materialize it as a real thought because I just wasn't expecting it to be a different person at all. Kind of like a "huh, I thought he was more haggard and older...well anyhoo" haha.

DUH haha! One shouldn't doubt their own mind/senses!
