Enjoyable, but not superb
17 November 2001
A straight thriller, yes - but lacks of some forgotten story threads and some mysterious re-appearences.

(I will not spoil anything here, but take the final car accident or the stairs accident. Some threads mystically forgotten or without further notice accepted by the main actors, some threads re-appeared without further asking - it just happened.)

Also some characters are in desperate need of their not established credibility - honestly: that covers the most actors except the main ones. And they are in need of some more credibility, too.

It's not that I don't like this movie - but it could be better done.

I would prefer three-dimensional characters on one side, minor ones on the other; cut of some useless time stretching shooting here, and add of some story-development scenes there.

All in all: enjoyable, but not superb.
