  • The movie has enough of Woods' flavor to put a memorable spin on a familiar genre - so much so that it's almost a crime it isn't better.

  • Though Ms. Woods's novel was a resonant entry in the crime genre when it came out nearly 20 years ago, this adaptation lacks the vision to find a fresh angle on her story.
