Ratings and reviews

I've watched this movie several times!! It's very good. If your looking for a good suspense movie that doesn't have any blood and guts or trash just straight up good acting that keeps you watching, this is a great choice! I loved it !!

Of course Meryl Streep is awesome in just about every film she touches. Kevin Bacon also does an incredible job playing the villain, along with John C. Riley, in this suspense filled thriller.

I loved this movie they filmed this movie from rogue river and this did have me at the edge of my seat and Kevin bacon doesn't do a good job
