  1. A rare example of a literary film that preserves the best of its source while creatively filling up on it.

    It's an Egoyan film, and therefore by definition worth seeing.

    Newcomer Cassidy is excellent, and Hoskins gives a flawless performance.
  4. 60
    Intelligent thriller--turns-- into an embarrassing gothic horror show.
