Gary Fleder directs Michael Douglas, Brittany Murphy and Sean Bean in this thriller where a child psychologist must get a secret from a catatonic girl or his daughter dies.
Glossy and preposterous. There must be a more direct route for Sean Bean’s gang to get to their buried treasure than all… THIS. Forgettable sub-Hitchcock reheats with a techno twist. The one saving grace is a memorably frazzled and awkwardly sexy support turn from Murphy. Why was she at her hottest in asylums? “I’ll never tell. I’ll never tell.”
