Aaron Eckhart is good and given the material at hand, delivers a performance difficult to criticise.
The rest of the cast ranges from bad to atrocious with many over acted deliveries and poor interpretation. I suspect the direction is at fault much of the time here, but the result is a hammy production that never has you anything more than superficially engaged.
There isn't anything interesting or exciting enough to grip you, and the film falls well short and anything remotely entertaining.
The plot is a simple premise but poorly done with overly long sequences, poor script and bad editing.
As usual there are the influenced reviews giving it high scores that can be largely ignored, but my honest advice is to simply miss this one. Chances are you won't enjoy it much (if at all) and if you do make it to the end, you'll probably realise it wasn't worth the investment in time.
