    A tense, concise and elegantly shot film.

    An enthralling, enjoyable if ultimately far-fetched thriller.

    Why oh why did Jodie Foster sign up for this! What starts out as an interesting and believable thriller slides into complete mediocrity with one gaping plot hole after another. The most annoying aspect was as a viewer thinking of about 10 different ways in which this film could have been so much better. Miss Foster as usual is still good especially in the first half of the movie but even she has a hard time trying to seem convincing towards the end when she must have prayed there was a get out clause in her contract. The one thing that continually irritates the hell out of me is this type of lazy film making where by its as if someone said we've forgotten how to end it and someone comes up with a halfbaked idea in about 2 minutes! I'm a big fan of Jodie Foster and I hope she steers away from such mediocre movies in the future.… Expand

    The "payoff" to this thriller is simply not believable. The plot holes are big enough to drive an SUV through, and the supporting cast is entirely wasted in this movie. Even Foster's performance is only mediocre. A huge disappointment.… Expand
