Review by: Jason James
Rating:
I orginally picked this up because it had Kate Beckinsale in it. Just to get it out of the way her performance is great in this film. Now to be honest this film at times bored me and at times had my full attention. To me it seemed as if the movie was written but not finished. It seemed as if the characters never really get progressed beyond about half way through the film. I didn't feel any closure with the ending and was a little disappointed that it was not fifteen minutes longer to add a proper ending. If you are still a little interested in seeing this movie then give it a rent, I don't think you will watch it more than once.
