Andrea So many holes in this film, even my husband who normally rolls with plot holes, was like WTF? Hardly anything made sense, but the close talking and Dakota Fanning's utterly awful acting made it worse. The weirdly pat ending made us think, Why did we even bother? Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Test T I watched this on DVD recently. When I realised what it was about, I didn't think it would be a film I would enjoy, especially given the generally poor critical reception it has. However, as I began to watch it the film drew me into Franny's world, and I started to take an interest in him. Events move on around him, but the film is only really about him. Richard Gere delivers a powerful and enguaging performace which captured my interest and maintained it throughout the film. So, I'm giving it 3.5 stars, not because I particularly liked it, but because it was well made, well acted and held my attention, which is good enough reason to recommend it in my opinion.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review deb l This movie is dreadful. Richard Here over acts to the point where you can't stand it when he comes on the screen. Dakota Fanning rubs her pregnant belly so much and but hardly does anything in this film. I have to say this film sucks. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Richard Gere, every time he is called meets and here he does it once again, with great moments of dramatic acting, but this in itself, is not enough to raise a defective film, with a strange script where in the first part it goes in one direction and in the second in another that has nothing to do with the first. In this way the purpose of the film is not understood very much Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I find Gere always watchable although he is a little hammy here. Theo does a nice break from brooding teen heart throb we are used to seeing him play. This does a good job creating a creepy sense of dread. But it turns out it’s perpetually in a state of build up but never really delivers. Among the genre of blue balls thriller movies. Not quite interesting enough to be a satisfying and earnest drama, not campy enough to be a guilty pleasure. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/18 Full Review Read all reviews
