To put it plain and simple, this i a bad movie. The acting in the irst half of this boring, ahem, iriller has got to be the worst I've sen since John Ritter's performance in Problem Child. Sean oung's monotone voice and exressionless face is annoying as nything, and her character's razing ability to time after time utwit the highly trained police dectives is unrealistic and hard to slieve.

In the trailor, if you have a good memory, Dillon can be seen donning a hard hat in a Carlsson warehouse in a struggle to toss someone over a railing. In the big picture, Dillon never comes within driving range of a warehouse. Speaking of Dillon, I was, in fact, amazed with his shedding of his teenage Outsider image. Dillon, in playing a decent criminal 4 < * roie, snowea me that he can survive as a leading actor, as long as he doesn't star in movies like this one. This predictable "suspense" clunker only manages a few exciting parts, among them being Dillon's murder scenes and Young's opening fall to death. The bit part of Corliss' college buddy Terry Dieter, played by Jim Fyfe of HBO's Encyclopedia fame, is very amusing and funny, but sorry to say, not worth the price of admission.
