Customer Reviews
Frank Morrison is obviously a great dad, he has a lovely close relationship with his son, Danny and he’s still on good terms with his ex-wife Susan. So quite why she divorced him is a little puzzling to begin with. Anyway Susan is getting remarried to handsome and successful businessman Rick Barnes, who seems to be keen and conscientious in developing his relationship with Danny.
The day of the wedding comes around and when a character from Rick’s past, Ray appears Rick starts to behave in a less friendly way especially towards Danny.
As far as the plot goes it’s here that the huge leap in reality must be taken and as I say it’s so silly that it really spoils the rest of the story. Without giving it away the local police force must really invest in some better forensic equipment!
John Travolta plays Frank in a very nice dependable way and Vince Vaughn is particularly effective as the creepy Rick. Steve Buscemi can play the slightly off the wall wacky character better than anyone and he’s great here, it’s only a shame his character has such short screen time. Mention must be made of Matt O'Leary who as the young Danny puts in a great child performance.
The film is not badly made and it’s a real shame that the so blindingly obvious fault in the plot spoils it all and when alls said and done this is an average example of the thriller genre.
The plot is very weak in this thriller, which sort of turned me off half way through, the story feels very rushed and there's no real explanation for the problem which makes this a duff story. As I said Travolta saves this film, otherwise I don't think it would have been as large as the film is now, and with it ending up on late night movie channels, it doesn't really surprise me that it's not highly rated by fans.
If you want a very light thriller, then yes, give this a go, otherwise give this a miss.
