if it would not be for sign of low budget in some scene and and a certain too close resemblance of the usual suspect and this feature would be an excellent thriller in itself . the cast be remarkably well choose for their respective on screen character . one of the best role for ray liotta and ll cool j and mekhi phifer and jolene blalock and play accordingly as well . there be 2 main problem that create a certain let down for this production . first one be regard the first 10 minute or so where the plot be a bit a all over the place and might loose the viewer interest ( certenly almost do mine ) . second one be the one scene that contain an explosion and where the cgi effect be very bad ( while that be not important to the plot at all and somehow will affect your impression and visual perception since the suspense about around there be great kind of a let down for a few moment ) . also i might add that at time the plot seem rush off and but maybe because be try to pull the exact same dialog camera work twist a in the usual suspect ( one of the best suspense movie ever . ) . all the action happen in one night . start with the crime and work it way back by mean of flashback . a minor difference be the fact that the director insert those flashback of jolene blalock breast as well ( be obviously only a commercial attempt at target large audience . however those scene be ok and she look great indeed ) . ray liotta play in chazz palminteri with the exception that here and this particular character be more extensively develop while he be the central one after all . i will not say who the other guy be but there be enough twist that will keep you guess until the end 5 minute or less . just like usual suspect make perfect logical sense ( i really respect that first and fore most in any respectable thriller ) . while the resemblance to the best thriller be too much to be respect a an original feature in itself and i give credit to the whole cast for be able to pull it off with enough style a not to disappoint . a good positive point a well would be that the movie never slow down a the b feature generally do and by have fill up scene in it middle part . enough say and i be go in circle on this title since it be a rip off ( there and i say the word again and hehe ) and the original score keep pup up in my head and the resemblance be just way to great while overwhelm actually even if completely different in detail ( only nora timmer character and the woman and be more developed here in comparison ) . it be a good watch nevertheless and and will not disappoint you if you can pass the explosion scene without loose any interest . so the plot get 10 star ( while i will ignore the similarity and they be different in context itself and do make perfect sense overall ) and the act get 10 as well ( i can not think of anyone that be play badly ) and the soundtrack get an 8 ( great musical choice but not consistent and again a sign of low budget ) and the camera work get a 10 ( great achievement for a low budget ) and the script get a 5 ( 1 for originality in essence and 10 for consistency ) and and finally the cgi effect get a more then deserve 1 star . do i miss something .
