An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast, I thought I might as well give it a try. Eventually, I thought it was not bad at all. Indeed, the mood was well set and there was a good cast (Cher, Dennis Quaid and Liam Neeson who was still rather unknown at the time). Furthermore, I thought that Cher and Dennis Quaid had a pretty good chemistry, even though it was rather disappointing that they still ended up together. Basically, it is a typical whodunit and, even though it was actually rather entertaining thanks to the intriguing characters and the work provided by the actors, the conclusion was rather underwhelming. I mean, to start with, since it is a thriller, you have the usual annoying twist and routine action scene at the end and the whole conclusion was not really satisfying (Roger Ebert further developed this failure in his own review) but it didn't ruin the movie for me. To conclude, it is nothing really original or amazing whatsoever but I thought it was a well done and entertaining thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
