As a thriller it fails entirely in its attempt to generate tension, and as a drama it simply doesn't have the necessary emotional edge. Neither Heather Graham nor Carrie-Anne Moss undersell what they have to offer, it just that the film feels too bland to genuinely entertain.

The script is so weak that it barely has a pulse. These two talented actresses still couldn't manage to breathe life into it. I cannot imagine this movie getting made before the days of home box office and netflix.

This so-called "thriller" is just another dumb, unoriginal movie with talented actresses that have nothing to work with. Not even the two "sex" scenes are any good.
