CONTAINS SPOILERS
I saw this on TNT tonight.
Attempts at suspense were made, but neither the writer nor the director had the skill or the sense of restraint to bring make these attempts successful.
I mentioned the 1991 film titled "Shattered". The original novel, "The Plastic Nightmare" had a much better plot than the Brosnan film. And a better director in Wolfgang Petersen.
For a recent movie about a marriage gone bad, rent "Unfaithful". For a suspense flick about a kidnapped kid, try "Ransom". Gere, Lane, Gibson and company do a better job with the respective genres than 2007's version of "Shattered".
