    • Quotes

      Barney Cousins: You don't care if she's alive or dead anymore.

      Jeff Harriman: Yes I do.

      Jeff Harriman: No you don't. You're just scared that without the search you won't know who you are. Who is Jeff Harriman, if he's not the guy looking for Diane? Can you really walk away from finally knowing the answer?

    A very good thriller
    This is a very breath-taking movie about a very clever killer.

    The movie is about Jeff played by Kiefer Sutherland who are on the road with his girl friend Rita played by Sandra Bullock when she suddenly disappear. Jeff uses a lot of time trying to find her,but after a while he gives up. After a while he gets contacted by a man who claims that he knows where Rita is and Jeff decides to go with him to find out.What he dont know is that this new guy is the kidnaper.

    Jeff Bridges does an amazing job as the psycho Barney. This movie is so intense and well played that you have to take a break to breath.

    A really scary thriller about what can happen in real life.

    I gave it a 8 out of 10
