J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Holmes, best known for the TV teen drama Dawson's Creek, flounders in the role like a child in her father's overcoat. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media It really is almost impressive how bad this is. Rated: 2/5 Sep 2, 2010 Full Review Scott Von Doviak Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Meandering and glacially paced, and often just plain dull. Jan 8, 2003 Full Review Joel Siegel Good Morning America Ultimately, it's a suspense thriller in dire need of more suspense and more thrills.

Starring Katie Holmes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I should have abandoned this after the first 30 minutes. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Was I watching Joey, Katie, or Katie? Same person. Confused girl throws crooked smiles and doesn't try to enunciate anything. Oh and the plot just as lacking as her character. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie was 1.5 hours long but it felt like an eternity. So painfully slow that I almost didn't finish it. And the end was just predictable and unsatisfying. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
