Reviews
A thriller about loss, obsession and cruelty having a style which is hardly atmospheric. This story has got good actors, such as Ejiofor, a naturally empathetic hero and Kidman, whose whispery elegance never makes her feel a real D.A. (especially when she nails a pivotal interrogation scene hinging on sexual humiliation. It's a glamour-less Roberts' show, however, as a wily sleuth and broken mom with a warped and vigilante like (Charles Bronson style) idea of justice. She's the hollowed-out soul of an otherwise routine do-over. The back-and-forth time frame is meant to be clever but it's actually quite annoying in the end, as it serves no purpose.
