Globe and Mail Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com A wildly uneven and sloppily directed movie, full of clashing tones and undigested bits of superior films. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Dallas Morning News Dismal. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Beth Pratt Common Sense Media Misguided teen thriller -- don't bother. Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews Helen Mirren's acting stands out in this mean-spirited dark comedy like an original Picasso in a paint-by-numbers art show. Oct 22, 2009 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Here you have a movie in which three teenagers go to a teacher's house and take her hostage. Either you go all the way with that premise, or you don't go there at all. Rated: F Sep 23, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
