You wonder how Elizabeth Shue got sucked into this dreary attempt to retell a story so often told before. There is no attempt to build dramatic, or narrative, momentum and the whole thing looks like it was shot on Super 8MM. The ambition does not match the execution and - after a while - almost anyone watching might remember that they need to scour the kitchen sink and stop wasting time waiting for something to happen in this story.
