This movie should be par.

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2003)

A few minutes after this film began, I remained interested. That's a good sign, since I'm easily angered by cliched story lines and formulas, especially in thrillers.
Throughout the film, there was always enough going on to keep my interest. By the end, I was satisfied and glad I watched it.
The performances were top notch. The story was the greatest part, and the directing remained above average.
This film isn't going to the top 100 ever of anyone's list, but should be considered a must see.
I believe this should be the standard at which all thrillers are set. It involves intelligence, suspense, the surprise ending and superior acting.
The only flaw, which is a common flaw for some reason, is this. In the age of technology and wonder, when Hollywood can create any special effect in the world, why can't they shoot a scene regarding central Florida without mountains in the background?
