6/10
Has its moments, but pretty uneven
26 March 2006
It's a good watch, with some nice action & suspense, but the acting jobs by some of the cast, including the mom and most especially the daughter, leave so much to be desired that they prevented me from enjoying the rest. Vigo M is great in his complex role, but the script seems to have pulled scenes from a dozen other films. That is to say, several times during the film I felt "ok, another formula sub-plot here." Some concepts were just plain overdone -- the exposition for one, practically beating you over the head with images & dialog designed to demonstrate what a sweet down-home little town Millbook is.

If I'd seen it in a theater I'd be annoyed....
