Trivia
Adrien Brody really had braces put on his teeth for his role as Harry, rather than get fake ones put in every day. He realized this was a mistake when he realized that he couldn't get into a fight at a bar because his upper lip would be destroyed by the braces. See more »Goofs
When Det. Foster interrogates Harry at the parlor's room, the cigarette pack and the ashtray over the table appears closer/far and disappears many times. See more »Quotes

What a great film! i cant believe that it wasn't released in the cinema as the whole story is brought to life by the amazing acting of Maura Tierney and Adrien Brody. If it wasn't for the talent of these two actors the story would have fallen flat. Tierney is truly believable as a struggling cop, and Brody is just so smug as the kidnapper, that the whole film is unpredictable. I saw this film on TV and i couldn't take my eyes off it, completely riveting throughout and you really feel like you know the characters. Despite good performances by other members of the cast, its the two leads that make the movie. An excellent film i completely recommend.
10 out of 10!! Excellent!!!
