nice time killer, 10 January 2003
Author: Movie_Man 500 from La La Land

Not bad but not great, so it's sure to be rerun on cable 200 times a month. Lee Lee seems awfully sour here but she's nothing compared to Diane Lane and Stellan Skarsgard who are obviously slumming for a quick paycheck. Lane looks wasted most of the time, no doubt cuz she's playing a junkie and Skarsgard is just too slimey to be much of anything but a rather eely villain. At least the revenge premise if nicely fulfilled by the end so you can finally cheer for sour faced Lee Lee and the young actor playing her easily manipulated brother, Rhett. All the time, I kept thinking: why didn't they just live with their uncle, but of course, if they did that, there'd be no story. Enjoyable violence offsets the predictable script and even some strong acting can be found inside the implausible situations. The best character was Kathy Baker's social worker who is only in the picture maybe 6 to 7 minutes tops. Ah well, they can't all be Citizen Kane...
