Title: Lost opportunity
Review: This looks and sounds wonderful and the performances are top-notch (with the exception of the woefully miscast Robbie Coltrane and Heather Graham). How unfortunate that it's marred by a plodding script which wanders into over-complicated conspiracy theories, and direction which only momentarily rises to the pitch of terror required by the subject. In a genre where anticipation and payoff are the key requirements, interest here is quickly lost. That this film is so close to being good makes it all the more disappointing. Recast a few characters and cut 20 pages from the script, and it would have been a winner.
