This flick does a good job of getting the viewer invested in the characters before putting them in a tense situation. This makes for some good old vicarious thrills. The lead villain appears to be attempting his best Heath-Ledger-as-the-Joker impersonation. Ava Preston, who plays the daughter, is remarkable. Somewhat reminiscent of a young Natalie Portman from Leon: The Professional (1994.) I won't be surprised if Ms. Preston's career mirrors that of Ms. Portman.
