deniro need to stay away from thriller and stick to play bad guy or cop . in hide and seek and he portray probably the bad psychiatrist or single father i have ever see . okay and i would not really spoil the end but after the revelation of this who doin it and it do not work for me . the writer of this movie ari schlossberg must have log a lot of how to be a hollywood screenwriter hour in class . deniro last thriller and godsend and be also terrible and and he play a goofy doctor in that one and too . typical stupid sheriff in this one who doesn not call for back up and think his flashlight be a good weapon than his handgun . the daughter role could have be play by anyone and but dakota fanning be the late young darling hob nobbing from movie to movie with big name . her best and only good role a the daughter be in i be sam and where i think she be fantastic . famke janssen be average and fluff a be elisabeth shue . the one and only good part of this movie be the one that do not make it while be sure to see the alternate end of emily where she be institutionalize . a much smarter choice than the original end . but then and make this movie at all be not a smart choice anyway .
