An average film overall, but important in the brief career of Brittany Murphy. The cinematography was excellent, particularly the helicopter footage. I also enjoyed the soundtrack. Character development was interesting and suspenseful. Brittany looks pretty ghastly in some scenes – I'm guessing makeup did the best they could given her declining health.
I think post production treated Brittany shabbily in the second to the last scene where she picks up the young daughter. Step-frame mode reveals some shameless hack painted in an obviously fake right aureole. So poorly done and exploitative, those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. If the movie is ever re-released, the audience would appreciate seeing the original footage of this marvelous actor.
