The premise is nice enough ... another "Simple Plan" type of movie. And while I loved A simple Plan (by Sam Raimi), I just don't think this one quite achieves in replacing/follow in the steps of that movie, which is a shame.
But it still is enjoyable enough to like, especially Robin Williams is great in his role. The others play kind of by the numbers, but not that bad. It's just they don't deliver anything spectacular to the mix (in my eyes). It's also a shame that, the movie is quite predictable. If you've watched thrillers, at least one thriller, you know that nothing goes according to the/a plan. But it's a shame if you can smell or see where the whole thing is going. A few surprises do arise, but all in all it's mediocre, saved only by the bel ... I mean Williams performance! He's likable enough as main character for you to care for him ...
