Summary: THRILLING PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPER THAT SPREADS ITSELF THIN
Review: The script pecks in every conceivable direction, and a few inconceivable ones, but surely not as terribly as the reviews would suggest. It held my attention throughout its winded course.

The suspense scenes are fabulously constructed, revolving around universally appealing themes -- bank heist, kidnapping, layered romance, betrayal, and above all, some fabulous twists.

Part of the slick fun is trying to figure out what the characters have up their individual sleeves, what surprising turn each may have to dish out. Result, an alluring semi-noir in which the audience is not privy in advance to how they'll all get away with it, or even who the good or the bad guys are.

Towards the end, we fall into the net of one gratuitous turn too many, which the eventually simplistic plot clearly did not have an appetite to digest, but hey, overall it is pretty cleverly done. Renting, at least, may be a good deed indeed.

Review: This film wasn't released, it ESCAPED!! The most entertaining part of this mess was Mr. Quarre's hilariously funny attempt at racism.

Review: Unlike others I did not like this movie. I am a huge Sam and Milla fan but those two wonderful actors could not save a lackluster plot and the total absense of interest. Was this a thriller, drama, documentary who knows? The three stars go to the acting ALONE, because nothing else about the film impressed me. I honestly couldn't tell you where it went wrong for the actors and the director were top-notch. Guess the story was just lacking.
