I suppose the acting was decent, but the movie drove me nuts. From the moment the dog dies to the end of the movie, I couldn't believe how insanely stupid the character of Laura was. Is it actually possible for a mother to be that horrible? I agree with the other reviews that the red herrings were annoying as hell, especially since they left more unanswered questions than anything. The ending was a twist, but a predictable one. Any mother that has ever done what happened at the end of this movie, or something similar, should be shot dead on the spot to save humanity and children around the world.
