The movie stars Kevin Costner (Dances With Wolves, Bull Durham), Demi Moore (G.I. Jane, Ghost), William Hurt (Children of a Lessor God, The Village), Dane Cook (Dan in Real Life, Good Luck Chuck), Marg Hedgenberger (Species, In Good Company), Danielle Panbaker (The Crazies, Sky High), and Aisha Hinds (Lost Dream, The Next Three Days).
The plot of the movie is a serial killer, Costner, who wants to quit killing with the help of AA. After a two year respit Costner is "caught" by a budding killer and forced into committing another murder. Costners partner is a part of his personality, Hurt. Costner is forced to kill someone to cover for his daughter who he thinks she has the same taste for killing.
The start of the movie is not something that drew me in, it was bland. I did not get a sence that there was a real good reason to see the movie. The pacing was good, the story was good, but there was nothing sepical about the movie.
I dont think there was enough reason for the daughter to be pregnate. It did not advance the story at all. Moore's character was getting a divorce in the movie and it was tied to the plot, along with Moore's character being rich, was also loosley tied in. Others may disagree but I think that these parts of the plot could of been handeled diffrently.
The interaction between Costner and Hurt had some nice moments. They were in sync at times, a scene in the car, showed a connection between the two that was nice. There was also a nice monologue.
The first half was alright but nothing sepical. There was a nice turn at the end but it ended up being a dream. If it were not a dream I would give a more positive grade. I liked it but there was not enough for me to give a strong recomendation.
I will give it a weak C+. I liked it and would recomend it to myself but for others if you are a big fan of any of the stars go out and stream it if not you may want to just skip it and watch something else.
