Douglas's best action flick ever, 23 October 2001
7/10
Author: (moviefan86) from Michael Douglas Land, Alabama, USA

Michael is extraordinary in this film as he guides two children to coping with their grandad's death and teaches them the meaning of life. Too bad Kirk didn't play the grandpa, that would have been awesome. Look for Michael Clarke Duncan in his first starring role as the lion!
