A bad movie

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Mike Figgis' work and since there was a pretty good cast, I thought I might as well give it a try. Eventually, even though I didn’t have some really huge expectations, it actually turned out to be a rather dreadful movie. I mean, it started like a rather decent atmospheric thriller, not very original but there was some potential, but pretty quickly, it became quite obvious that the whole thing was actually going nowhere. For once, it didn't care much for the build-up and, of course, like 90% of any US thrillers, the conclusion was completely underwhelming. Eventually, even though there was indeed an intriguing cast (Dennis Quaid, Sharon Stone, Stephen Dorff, Juliette Lewis, Kristen Stewart, Christopher Plummer), they didn't manage to make this movie more entertaining. This flick was basically another addition to the already disappointing career of Sharon Stone, who was once a promising actress after 'Basic Instinct' but who has mostly made underwhelming features ever since. To conclude, even though my rating might be a little bit harsh, I just really didn't like this flick at all and I don't think it is worth a look.
