  1. Fleder's forgettable thriller has a convincing edge, and Douglas remains unchallenged as Hollywood's most tremulous and disquieting dad-under-pressure.
  2. The movie has promise as a psychological thriller, but the filmmakers show far more interest in chases and shoot-outs than characters and ideas.
  3. 38
    Maybe this is a psychological thriller after all: Every thinking member of the audience will be driven insane.
  4. Reviewed by: Mike Clark

    Don't say you weren't warned. There are instant clues that this ill-timed Michael Douglas vehicle is a dually unfortunate viewing experience.

  1. The acting is good buy everybody involved but overall the movie is is just average. The story is just like every other thriller and goes through all the same steps like every other thriller. The movie is rated R but really didn't need to be so you wont be missing anything if you just catch this on TV. Expand
  2. I was really expecting a thriller having to do with Brittany Murphy being insane, but it just becomes an old man solving being a hero. Not in the Sean Connery or Harrison Ford kind of way either. Expand
