    Suspenseful and ultimately unpredictable, with a sterling ensemble cast.

    Ambitious, guilt-suffused melodrama crippled by poor casting.

    We wish other directors would keep Edward Burns busy acting so he wouldn't have time to make his own movies. This is his fourth since "The Brothers McMullen" and they get more tedious each time out.
