Goofs

As Louis holds Diana hostage, her cell phone rings, with the name "Trudy" popping up on the cell phone screen. When Louis asks Diana who it is, she replies that Trudy is her sister-in-law. Later when Louis and Diana are recounting the actual trial from five years ago, Louis mentions Trudy from that time, meaning that he should have known who she was earlier when her name popped up on the screen.

User Reviews

Very entertaining.

I enjoyed the movie very much. The suspense and the build up of action right to the end was very engaging where you couldn't stop watching. Not the most complicated of plot lines - but entertaining nevertheless.
