평가 및 리뷰

Something missing - this could've been brilliant but the tension wasn't allowed to rise above just simmering because the direction was off the boil - almost every cut away from the studio was like an ad for extras. I would have loved to have seen this movie just played out in the studio; it was a good enough premise for that - if only the director had a little more faith in her audience. Overall; very good but disappointed in Foster's direction.

Jodie Foster is an amazing actress and has directed this well shot piece. The cast is great and the film begins well, but it stumbles midway through with an uneven tone and odd decisions. It's like John Q a bit, but that's better. Watch that. Check this out if you like.

Rotten tomatoes doesn't always get it right. Here's such an example. The movie is good. Watch it with your loved one! Microwave meals and wine not included.
