Only rented since cast included Douglas, Penn, Baker & Manz

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2002)

If you saw the trailers for this then you know the whole setup and it is just a matter of waiting for the twists and tricks and chase scenes to finally end. That being said, the movie is above average for this type of affair. I agree with Spleen's review almost 100 percent so read that one. I actually rented this because Michael Douglas is someone who I feel can really carry a picture. He has a presence which is unequaled. That voice of his has power. Also in the movie is Sean Penn and he is a guy who always has integrity in his film choices. Also cast in this movie are a couple of folks that really got pulled out of the mothballs. Carroll Baker played the elderly housekeeper and I will always remember her as the teenage Baby Doll. Linda Manz had a bit part that lasted all of 10 seconds and I will always remember her as a kid in Days of Heaven and Out of the Blue. Having those two in there seemed to add a bit to the surreal effect.
