this must be the bad thriller i have see in a long long time . the directing and the acting and the adaptation of the story leave what could probably have be a good plot into a meaningless waste of time . within a few minute of watch the film it be easy to figure out the whole plot and then there be more obvious clue very early on leave no mystery . i guess this within the first few minute and i keep hop i be wrong and much to my dismay i be not . the film start off with two fbi agent who drive to a remote town to investigate a murderous spree which have leave three witness and a young girl and a drug addict and a cop . they be interview under surveillance camera separately and each tell their account of the day . each have something to hide about themselves and the day unfold a they tell their account . this part be probably the save grace and if develop could have make this film well . spoiler represent the whole story end in the fbi agent be the actual killer and the young girl be the only one who have figure this out and so left unhurt by them . why do they go through the whole charade of interview three witness and bond with the young girl if their idea have be to kill them in the first place . how do they get away with pretend to be fbi agent ( when you discover that real fbi agent have be kill and their badge be find on them ) . how do they know how to set up and use the surveillance camera . bill pullman and julia ormond be so unconvincing from the beginning to the end . maybe the idea be to develop their character for the revelation at the end . come on and they both look ridiculous and stupid and not sinister in the least . the character of the young girl be also waste potential . there be no meaning to her action and no meaning to whom she prefer to bond with in her ordeal . she do not appear distressed and but rather detach which again be not explain . awful film on the whole .
