Ditched this after 5 minutes.


...BTed this and deleted after about 5...we've managed to hone our appreciation to a fine edge that allows no mediocrity to seep through...and this was below said standard.

The movie's overall style changes after the first 10-minute shaky cam scene.

Yeah, I don't know what was up with that. It was as if someone stepped in and told Scott Walker that he's not directing a COPS segment.

I'll admit, the first five minute are pretty terrible—Lifetime Movies have better acting. However, if you're in the mood for thriller, suffer for about 25–30 minutes until you see Cusack at work. Not a must-see film, but certainly worth watching to the end.

Thanks for the advice...ordinarily enjoy Cussak...lately too...and Cage when he has good material...but the very thing I cannot abide is poor dialogue and simple presentation...as if the makers were afraid a major portion of the audience would not "get it"...
...again thanks...
