All the actors in this disjointed, completely unbelievable movie have been excellent in other worthier films. The premise had promise, but the director's execution is trying so desperately to be "serious", it ends up being unintentionally comical. Grant's character is a cartoon villain and Delpy is hilarious as his sphinx-like wife. Macormack is fine but basically wasted in the role. It even has a weird butler who knows more than he should, but we never find out what that is. The kid is a typical sullen, tortured teenager. Many plot developments can be seen from a mile away. The setting is pretty though.
