It has an interesting subtext. I'm referring to the way the lives and friendships of these four individuals crumble in the wake of their accident.

The screenplay by Kevin Williamson ("Scream") keeps the lighting low and the tension high, though a bit more wit would have helped.

Writer Kevin Williamson, who's also responsible for the overrated "Scream," sets cleverness above emotional impact in a poorly conceived 1997 thriller with plenty of empty references.

The best shot in this film is the first one. Not a good sign.
