I’ve never liked Kurt Russell as an actor.  Never.  Well, except for ‘The Thing’, when his one-character persona was relatively “new”.  But in this movie I have to admit, he actually does some real ACTING.  Pretty good, too. I KNOW…can you STAND it??<\/p>\n

Similarly, I sort of expected this movie to suck.  You know, another vehicle for one “name” actor, no real quality…so imagine my surprise when I discovered it was actually well-written and reasonably well-acted.  Pretty good.  After the 4th viewing, I still enjoyed it.  <\/p>\n

It’s a thriller in the non-gore\/non-stupid-action sense of the word, at least until the end.  Definitely worth a watch if you like thrillers.<\/p>\n
