Hard to find anything to dislike about this thriller based on a true story, and hard not to like the actors and the way this was put together, but it felt a little like the talent deserved a more challenging script - or maybe the fact it was based on a true story meant it lacked the dramatic understructure that a work of fiction would have provided. John Travolta is a fine actor, able to create a part unselfconsciously and make it wholly believable; Salma Hayek was maybe miscast but carried it well and the supporting actors did well.
It is certainly worth watching - I just wished it had been allowed to be a bit bigger given the ensemble and their talents.
