PROS
John Forsythe
Samuel L. Jackson

CONS
Julianne Moore

Final Analysis: Samuel L. Jackson isn’t too wildly over-the-top here but he also can’t save this movie. It is trite and repetitive and never titular enough to draw you into the story. It is cool to see John Forsythe, a favorite B-List actor of mine, in an “A” flick.

SPOILER ALERT:
Julianne Moore apparently annoyed her child to death with a very hammy performance

WHY?
