I really liked the overall film, with a good level of tension right from the outset... proper on the edge of your seat kinda stuff.
However.
There do seem to be a lot of messy story lines in the overall script. The whole 'Friends' line really irritated me, but it made a bit of sense towards the end. Oh... and what the heck were all the deer about?!!?! No idea!
Kevin Bacon's part was just minimal and lacking in any major substance other than validating what was already pretty obvious.
Julia Roberts I didn't initially recognise from the poster, but she was really good in this. I'd have to say anyone else in this role I'd have knocked 3 stars off my score because Julie saves the whole thing.
If you have two and a half hours to spare, it's good fun.
