This is an ordinary "B" movie. If you watch it with such expectations you won't be disappointed. Otherwise you will try to read something into this shallow film but find nothing there. Also, the music is bland and adds nothing. In a thriller the music should contribute more.
DeMornay elevates above her usual B-actress talent and gives an adequate performance. Sciorra is not a great actress but has a sunny personality that is sufficient here. However, the husband role as written (and the actor portraying the husband) are awful, no better than worthless cardboard.
The ending "rescue" scene featuring Ernie Hudson is completely predictable from the start of the movie. Hudson does a pretty good job here considering what he has to work with, but the role was written for a specific plot purpose and it is preposterous.
The other supporting actors are simply outstanding, especially the mom's best friend and the little girl who portrays the daughter.
First hour is dull, but there are a few exciting scenes toward the end.
score 4/10
