    • Trivia
      Two of the film's main actresses later died at young age. Brittany Murphy (Elisabeth) passed away from pneumonia coupled with anemia and drug intoxication in 2009 at age 32 while Skye McCole Bartusiak (Jessie) suffered an accidental drug overdose at age 21 in 2014.
    • Goofs
      Aggie's Apple notebook appears to have its trademark logo on the cover upside down. This is how the G3 PowerBook is designed and is not an error. Starting with the subsequent G4 Powerbook, Apple reversed the logo such that it's upright when the laptop is in use.
    • Quotes

      Elisabeth: You want what they want, don't you... I'll never tell. I'll never tell... Any of you.

    good thriller
    This movie provides in the thrills department. It stars Michael Douglas in the lead role (and he IS well cast) as a psychiatrist whose daughter is kidnapped by a bunch of men who want him to extract a six-digit number from a mentally disturbed young lady. Both parties then proceed to match wits en route to a great climax towards the end of the movie.

    This was based on the book by the same name. The book was quite good, too. I rank this movie as your typical thriller with good twists.

    *** out of ****
