Son helps his father kill an entire family, save for the baby. Flash forward Son, now grown up, falls for the grown up survivor. But uh-oh dad shows up again. This would have been a ok film if not for Meg Ryan's 'Moons over Mi-Hammy" performence in the beggining. It's deffinately not a good sign when each bit of dialog from her mouth prevokes a wince. Furthermore the plot is more than a tad contrived. I've heard that this is one of Paltrows best performances, which is easy to believe with such 'gems' as "Duets", "View From the Top", and "Sylvia", but in all honesty The onetime almost Mrs. Brad Pitt seems to sleepwalk through this movie. Why she is praised I haven't a clue. I guess the saying is true, it really IS who you know (she's more talented then both Sharon Stone and Juilette Lewis, but trust me that is NOT saying much.
