2 stars (Good Try) I don't know why it took so long to tell a straightforward story - there are some good bits amongst the padding - its a good job Denzel was casted as he helps to pass the time. ~Tubbs
2 stars (Good Try) Has a very good cast, is nicely photographed and there are a number of Pakula's tense, competently handled signature sequences, but is just a potboiler compared to his best work. Which is probably also true for Horner's score. ~HiFi
