Likes
: The Length- if the movie was any longer I think it would have dragged a little bit. Even though the story was kinda dull and a scenario that has been played out many times before- there were enough twists to keep you interested. Another big thing was that there was no cheesy music. Yes, I know...I talk about cheesy music a lot- but I really really dislike cheesy music.

Dislikes: I wish the film went deeper into Jennifer Beals' character. It seemed as though her past would have made an interesting side story.

Overall Recommendation: This one is worth watching
