Good theme but need to hold to this creates distortion to reality.

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2004)

This is terribly unlike Spielberg. The script holds so tightly to the theme that it forces itself into unrealistic scenarios and situations. While the whold idea may be fresh and "plausible", in today's terror security environment, it is obviously a force fit. This looks badly like a script from pre-911 that did a poor job of updating which happens often in this business. In some stages it resembled commercial television which is not a compliment. This transparency comes through and the audience that spends the price to be entertained today, unless under the age of 13, sees through this so easily, it is not even an entertaining "feel good" or "date" flick. Too much dependence on big names to carry this to help cover the investment. Thank God I waited to rent the DVD rather than go to the theater. This is a perfect example of bad market studies, reliance on DVD sales to bail a mediocre script, and embarrassing to the team that attempted to make this feasible so to entertain. The cast did not match the audience that this would entertain. This film hurts the credibility of all involved and feel bad for them if they continue to be "forced" into this quality of production. I am assuming they were under some commitment to be involved in such mediocrity.
