Wissenswertes
In the scene where Helen's doctor told the detectives she had cancer, he should not have said that. He was correct in asking for a subpoena to release the records. The Hippocratic Oath dictates that, even after a patient has died, their medical history is protected. Doctors can confirm that someone is a patient, but he still wouldn't have been allowed to tell the detectives she had cancer unless forced by a judge.

Source: pre-med and student reading of "ethical guidelines for medical professionals".

Patzer
(at around 14 mins) When "Abigail" is speaking with the bank manager about closing her account he asks her what her passcode is. For security purposes no bank employee would never ask someone to tell them what their passcode is (even if they are closing the account) since they could then use it themselves. They would ask them to enter it on a keypad with it showing up hidden on the screen.

Flatters to deceive

I'm not quite with the person who described this film as a crime (although he writes a good review); but this film certainly didn't deliver what it promised in the opening act.

I'm a big fan of Selma Blair, and she does her best with the material given. Unfortunately, what starts out as an atmospheric thriller soon degenerates into an implausible hook (oddly enough, less interesting than if they'd just continued the original storyline), with a horribly pat ending, complete with cops discovering a cellphone ringing at a grave, that has "10 minutes to wrap" written all over it.

All of which is a great pity, because it had a good cast, and there was some decent acting on display before it all goes west.

So: not a crime, but certainly not all it could have been. For a much better movie with a similar theme, see 'Copycat'.
