Highlighted by a gritty style and an excellent cast, it’s better than one might expect when you look at the list of movies starring Ice-T in a major role.

The heart of the film is the drop dead sexy Drea De Matteo who, as the mother and real head of the family, commands every scene.

It's hard to believe that something so short could be so flabby.

The main characters are simply named The Husband, The Wife and The Kidnapper, emphasizing the disappointingly generic nature of the entire effort.

Ferrara's best film in years.

Ferrara's strongest and most touching movie of recent years.

Top CriticFerrara directs the entire film with the kind of detachment that makes any given frame look like a family's custom-made Christmas card.
