- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Even Schroeder can't keep his own boredom from showing."
-
"Bullock shades what she normally does into something more interesting -- the angriest and sexiest work she's done."
-
"Engrossing but psychologically shallow tale."
-
"Even as the psychological interdependencies of the two boys take the foreground, the movie gets more and more crowded with fun-house surprises and cliffhanging set pieces."
-
"For much of its length, the film is plausible, if predictable and ponderous. Its strongest assets are its actors."
-
"The story may be about cold-blooded murder, but Bullock's pulsating performance is about the getting of wisdom."
