Horrible movie. My friend recommended this, and she's no longer a friend.

Rating: 3/10 (2 February 2004)

The characters are so single dimensional they disappear every time they turn. Do the bad guys really have to be just so purely bad? Can't they be even just slightly human?
RenÃ©e Zellweger, whose whole career hinges on her perpetual lip curl, delivers a mindless performance. Poor Natalie Portman is stuck in a ridiculous role. Giovanni Ribisi, on loan from Greenday, is the only watchable part of this whole movie.
I don't usually hate movies, but I hate this one. Every moment I yearned for a horrible accident to befall the main characters so they could feel the pain they were putting me through. I thought maybe it's just me, but turns out my wife found in more appalling than I did. Stay away. Or maybe it's just me.
