on the face of it and this should be a great film and a great cast and a plot with many possibility and one of hollywood fine behind the camera for the first time . however and it clear why it be another 8 year before spacey decide to try direct a movie again . this movie fail on so many level . in a film where there be not much action and most of the scene be shoot in a couple of location and it be imperative that suspense and continuity be provide by the director . not so here and the great cast be horribly under use and none more so than the great and late john spencer and the plot be so run of the mill and nothing you haven not see in a hundred other tv movie . there be so little character development you end up not care for any of the protagonist . at least we know spacey have a lot of mate and clout in hollywood studio to get away with a poor flick like this .
