The first half of the film is quite compelling, but once the audience knows what's going on (or ever a bit before), it seriously tanks.
Although I've read a bunch of critics' reviews applauding Colbert's performance, I'd disagree and say it's not one of her best. A bit over the top and simply not a performance you want to embrace. I'm not sure how else to put it...it's sometimes annoying.
There are other issues - in both the courtroom and the hospital, Ryan does not seem to show concern for Colbert. He doesn't react like someone who is in love. He doesnt react - just walks away.
The doctor writes off Colbert within 2 seconds - she's crazy. Well, it's 1950....
How Colbert escapes from the hospital is never touched upon....and the ending is just ridiculous.
