Review

The fine reviews this formulaic thriller garnered must have been informed by director Wes Craven's reputation rather than how the film actually plays out. While there are certain suspenseful moments here in which Craven is able to show off his use of ticking clocks, the platitude of the story, Cillian Murphy's cardboard bad guy, and Rachel McAdams' telegraphed and uninspired transformation from vulnerable victim to girl power rep make the suspension of disbelief nearly impossible.
