bland

Rating: 3/10 (11 October 2004)

Over hyped, under achieving film.
Slow moving plot that unfolds 95% of the meat in the last 5 minutes. Personally, I'm gonna avoid again at all costs and, maybe catch it on sky movies in a year or so when, with the general decline of movies, this will seem like a good movie.
the bulk of the story is good in essence but unfortunately, as with most large releases this time if year, the best bits are shown in the trailer. The trailer wound me up with so much suspense and trepidation I couldn't wait to see this film. the scene with the lady and the reverse bear trap .... but to find that she was merely a filler while the story stumbled along to its bungled conclusion pretty much ruined the entire experience. and the family.....again nothing more than a device to attemp to inspire some kind of mortal compasion into the film. They didn't NEED to be there!!
