Robin Williams' good work in contained in an uneven film, whose first half is an intriguing chronicle of urban alienation, but second part deteriorates into a presposterous thriller with a subplot of stalking and revenge--not unlike Fatal Attraction

This isn't the Williams of Mrs. Doubtfire or, thank heavens, Jack or What Dreams May Come.
