The sort of thriller at which Michael Douglas excels (though he's looking a little long in the tooth now). This is a well constructed, well acted, beautifully
photographed thriller. Although there is nothing surprising or unusual, it is a good evening's entertainment.
My only complaint is that the main characters played by Michael Douglas, Sean Bean, and Brittany Murphy are so well acted and well written, that the other
characters - the wife, the policewoman, the daughter - are to some extent
squeezed out. This is a shame, as their performances are excellent.
