    6 / 10
    A made-for-tv thriller that is more of a (corny) drama than an actual thriller, with average performances by the 2 Baldwins and an even better performance by Seda. However, the plot is way too predictable and the character development is minimal.
    The video transfer is not too good. Despite the fact that this is a tv movie, it`s widescreen, which is good, however, the compression level is too high, thus most of the scenes look pixelized and a few of them contain some grain as well.
    The DD 5.1 soundtrack is not good either. While the surrounds are used, their volume is too low and unbalanced. Most of the action comes from the center and the sub is silent most of the time.
    The menus are partially animated with sound.
    The disk has no extras at all.
    Bottom line - a corny movie and a very mediocre disk. Skip this one.
