If you want to see why Reese Witherspoon is the highest paid actress in Hollywood, watch this film, not Legally Blonde 2

Reese was far greater in her earlier, riskier films, than in the current "cashing in phase" she now deservingly finds her self in. When the plot calls for it Reese is screen dynamite, as is Mark Whalberg who is now cashin in with shallow epic remakes like Planet of the Apes. This film has a great plot, great actors and a great climax. A little more characterisation for Mark's character would not have gone a miss, otherwise its a real thumbs up release.

Films were far easier to believe 9 years ago when this was made, before mobile phones took off and ruined every "trapped" plot scenario.
