    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.

    Easy to watch

    Worth watching for John Cusack who I love. A bit predictable and the child actor wasnt irritating, a good way to pass a couple of hours.
