This movie is a breath of fresh air. Well-paced and well-acted, it's totally believable AND consistently entertaining. An eight-year-old girl who is neither saccharine nor pedophile-bait, but a credible eight-year-old, stole the show for me; but the whole cast put their hearts & souls into this movie. The fights are realistic, the dialogue natural, the plot totally new, and the suspense convincing.
Of course, if you're a Trek or Bab5 fan, you have to see it for Walter Koenig's superb performance as an exasperated small-time crime boss. Props also to: Frankie, Angela, Eddie Lemon, the CEO, and the Chief of Police - I swear, I *know* these people. I don't even normally go for action-adventure flicks, but this one could have happened in my own back yard - definitely a keeper!
