...a seriously tedious suburban thriller that wastes the talents of its admittedly impressive cast...

It may not be the most glossy of films, but at least it tries to meet its audience's expectations.

Quickly turns from lukewarm thriller to tepid Hallmark drama.

Disturbing.

Okay thriller, Julia Stiles is good. Mildly interesting plot but very far fetched. Another one of those middle of the road pictures. Watchable as well as forgettable.
