I'm surprised this is getting such good reviews on IMDB. Admittedly, Norton's character is well acted. Gere, however, simply plays himself, with his usual well-practiced mannerisms. I found Laura Linney's character neurotic, annoying and unconvincing. There's a subplot regarding the victim's business deals which never really goes anywhere; and as for the final plot 'twist', you can see it coming a mile off. I saw this movie on TV, I would have felt cheated had I paid money to rent it.
