    A waste of talent

    This was very much a let down. Why on earth would two of todays most watchable actors agree to be in this? they are completely let down by a plot that is so weak it just doesn't hold up. We have every cliche in the business, so much so that it actually would have worked better as a parody. I hate giving low rating to a film with Cusack in, he is so much better than this, Freeman is miscast, and his little crew are about as fearful as the Stooges.

    definetly worth a miss

    for every decent thriller that comes out of the US these days there are dozens that are hardly worthy of the name. this is one of them. a promising start quicjkly peters out into a montonous tour of all the filmic cliches you will hope you had forgotten. don't bother, is my advice - it's hard to imagine you won't regret it.
