This movie has a very interesting cast... and that's about it. There are some unintentionally funny moments, pedestrian cinematography, by-the-numbers acting, and a lazy script. Nothing awful, mind you, just not worthy of being anything other than a TV movie. Things... Full review

As this movie progresses, Kate Beckinsale tells Matt Dillon that he confuses his power with his rights. But the heart of the matter is that Beckinsale's character confused her power with her rights. She claims the right of the press to... Full review

Very nice movie, a bit slow. Kate Beckinsale refuses to not look completely edible even when she has jail scenes, while Vera Farmiga looks just as good as to make one think it will be a movie about a cat fight.... Full review

This is a good film, not a great one but I'm going to call it a great film because I loved it enough for it to fall into the great film category for me. Great films are films that I will... Full review
