The Glass House is a prime example of abundant style with very little substance.
Theres scarcely an original thought in the whole film, from its obvious references to films like North by Northwest to its often painful, by-the-numbers dialogue.

Diane Lane and Stellan Skarsgard turn in competent performances as the menacing legal guardians, but the whole thing is just so bloody predictable....But big boobs and a pretty face do not make for a good actress.... ... Full Review

Bruce Dern also is also good as a morally ambivalent estate attorney.
It is a clever plot device and it does make the story resonate a little.
Sobieski, Lane and Skarsgrd turn in good acting performances.

Even with its unworthy ending, The Glass House is a wholly entertaining and thoughtful flick.
Competently put together, smartly acted, The Glass House is a continual slow build toward revelation and resolution.

The film has a fine cast, good performances and great production design and cinematography.
The film is a moderately effective thriller, which, given the cast involved, should have been considerably better.
