    • Trivia
      In what would have been her big break, Gwenyth Paltrow originally auditioned for the lead role Josie, that eventually went to Halle. Paltrow didn't get the part, because the director felt she wasn't convincing enough.
    • Goofs
      When Josie and Cole are struggling in the tunnel at the park, Cole wrestles away Josie's revolver and fires it 3 times at some would-be rescuers. Josie gets away and runs to the end of the tunnel. Cole fires the gun at her another 7 times. A total of 10 shots from a revolver holding 6 bullets.

    Terrific
    Oh, I loved this movie from the beginning to the end. But especially the ending which is extremely surprising. The only flaw is that the main character is telling the story, but there are scenes that she can't tell because she wasn't there. Anyways, I give this movie a 10.
