Scott E Aug 31 Pretty good. William Baldwin was good and young Sandra Bullock. See more john k 09/07/2020 Great movie with amazing actors. I'd definitely recommend this See more 09/23/2012 Just a TV movie based on a true story, where we can watch a unknown Sandra Bullock participating in 10 minutes, one Baldwin's brother (William), Danny Aiello and the disappeared Lara Flynn Boyle. The best part was listen Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. Don't be worry if you'll never watch this movie. See more Read all reviews
