Nudity Factor: Angelina Jolie breasts during love scene

Of Note: A scene was shot in which Angelina drives back to her house with the old pick-up and a branch from a tree falls and breaks the windshield. It took several takes to get the shot, and apparently destroyed the last remaining windshields for the pick-up available anywhere in North America at the time. The scene was not used.

Review by: Jason James Rating:

This is a pretty good "Who Done It" movie. Though to me it was rather predictable and you could see what was comeing from miles away. I really like the role the Angelina Jolie played, it fit her very well. The movie does move along well and does keep your interest but the fact that most of the thriller part of the movie is predictable takes away from this movie being a great thriller. I don't want to say much about the ending but it does a pretty good job of wrapping the film up. Overall I did enjoy this film but with a lot of thrillers it really is not near as much fun to watch again.
