Ratings and reviews

Drivel. It is a shame Sissy Spacek came out of retirement for this contrived story of desperation and implied incest subplots. Then there is the performance of Kris Kristofferson, who's handlers are trying to milk him for as much as they can before he slips completely into an Alzheimer's coma. Eric Bana fulfills his one dimensional performance which is consistent whether he is a killer or an attorney. The only thing he changes is his accent. 2 stars is very generous for me.

Except for Olivia Wilde. She finally takes on this layered, morally corrupt character and takes a huge career risk in doing so too. I was surprised and delighted. Bana stepped out of his comfort zone too. Protagonist and script really needed more work. Reeked of a dismal budget.

Great actors, terrible script. Story only moved forward with phone calls. No joke. Someone didn't know how to write character chemistry. Sex = love! And they did it TWICE so they're in DOUBLE LOVE!! LOL.
