  1. A rare example of a literary film that preserves the best of its source while creatively filling up on it.
  2. Egoyan's cinematic brilliance shows up intermittently in this atmospheric thriller, which gains most of its punch from Hoskins's surprisingly subtle performance.
  3. 60
    Intelligent thriller--turns-- into an embarrassing gothic horror show.
