Peacock
If he only knew what she was doing.
John Skillpa (Cillian Murphy, Girl with a Pearl Earring, 28 Days Later) is a quiet bank clerk living in tiny Peacock, Nebraska, who prefers to live an invisible life. Then, in a moment, everything changes. A train caboose runs off its tracks and crashes into John's backyard and destroys more than the weathered planks of his wood fence. When neighbors descend on the scene, they discover John's other personality, Emma, for the first time and mistakenly believe her to be John's wife. This launches John into the glare of the spotlight and eventually shatters the delicate balance of his sanity. Also starring Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Susan Sarandon (TV's Saturday Night Live) and Ellen Page (Juno).

the film had a quiet kind of Hitchcock feeling with a strong setting.the acting was very well crafted and i was drawn into the main character.the suspense was good, you see the main character's life slowly unravel, he reminded me a bit of micheal jackson with that fragile voice.i had no idea how the movie would end, but i had a feeling it wouldn't be good.Excellent Indie - not_alice
This film really did an amazing job of capturing the interactions of John and Emma, and the small community of Peacock. Cillian Murphy really stepped up to the plate and did an incredible job acting both characters, and of course, Ellen Page brought the amount of depth really needed for Maggie.
Major acolades are due to the make-up, hair and wardrobe for this movie. The make-up was so incredible, that if I hadn't know otherwise, I would have been completely fulled into thinking the actor playing Emma, was in fact a woman.Somewhat Interesting - 0930tracey
I was a little disturbed and bothered by this movie and I still don't know why. Cillian Murphy was phenomenal in his dual-role as a man with a split personality. The story was a bit slow, and it sort of lacked any real storyline, but the premise was intriging. It was worth a watch.
