If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

Rowena Price, an ex-journalist, goes undercover to reveal business man Harrison Hill has her childhood friend's killer. In doing so, she uncovers various secrets from the people around her.

This film was directed by James Foley. This film is meant to be a technological thriller set as a neo-noir mystery. Even though it does make good use of technology, it fails to create a great mystery. The story becomes somewhat predictable as the carries on, and plays with overused cliches. It feels like the film goes through a shift in direction, and that's where it falls apart. Harrison Hill feels like a useless character that is wrought with cliches. The central character comes off as dull and depressed. It is unfortunate that the big reveal at the end feels as dead as some of the corpses. There is a little violence in this film, and no nudity. Halle Berry played the role of Rowena Price. She brought ver little emotional depth to this character. In many ways, the character needed more to be effectively believable. Giovanni Ribisi played the role of Miles Haley. His importance was very undermined btythe stories direction, and not in a good way. Bruce Willis played the role of Harrison Hill. He had the best performance out of the group.

I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! Its too predictable to rise above familiarity.

This film can be seen on Netflix Instant Que.
