    Quirky thriller that begins well but ends with a whimper, never exploring the increasingly unlikely motivations needed to keep the narrative moving.

    An Interesting Noir Thriller

    This early Reese Witherspoon film carries all the hallmarks of a great thriller; a good cast, it's well shot, and the storyline is enough to keep you guessing.

    However, the pay off is a little weak, and I felt that the twist was revealed far too early, taking much of the fun out of it.

    Interesting, but not great.

    Some good ideas

    The best part of this film for me was Reese Witherspoon's accomplished performance as the girl who will do anything for the man she loves. The rest of the film, well, not too bad but nothing really outstanding. The ending, I'm afraid, is a bit of a damp squib after an intriguing and solid build-up. There were one or two good ideas to make it stand out from hundreds of similar films with a double-double cross theme. Well worth a watch, but don't expect too much from it.
