i try to be very objective when i view a low budget movie . i also apply a low weight to independent and low budget production versus the big budget production . i expect near flawlessness from big budget production and their studio . therefore i apply tougher criterion to the major studio release . but this movie be just a dud . period . the premise be terrible . the main character and mary gordano ( alicia silverstone ) and be unbelievable a a high school senior with an unquenchable desire to solve crime . there be not enough depth in her character or her acting that pull you into her world . also and to make this movie more mysterious and the lighting in certain scene do not set the mood and especially in the warehouse . once again another disappointing movie that i could only give three point to .
