Factual errors: During sentencing, the judge tells Vivian "the State of Massachusetts has declared you insane," thus making him ineligible for the death penalty. In legal parlance, Massachusetts is always referred to as a Commonwealth, and does not practice the death penalty. more

Why Spoil A Good Movie?, 5 December 2000
6/10
Author: helenb (helenb@cybergal.com) from Stockholm, Sweden

The dark landscape of Claire Cooper's mind is not a pleasant place, especially when she's not its only occupant. To follow her into that place, to see where it leads her, was rather a terrifying journey.

The film was full of beautiful, yet scary, pictures, and the plot was rather interesting, so it was with utter disappointment I registered the very last bit of the ending - horrible Hollywood "let-there-be-justice"! What a pity to spoil the movie like that...
