Reviews
A tightly-wound thriller that succeeds to the degree it does because of Alec Baldwin's sinister performance, which somehow captures the pathos of his monstrous character.
Despite its big names and slick sheen, [the film] fails to make a convincing case.
Psycholgical thriller about a woman in jeopardy and a power hungry criminal.
