A reversal of the roles made iconic by Silence of the Lambs but not as exciting or suspenseful. What happens in this routine thriller places the police investigators' success in the hands of Ashley Judd, not Anthony Hopkins. Judd as it is revealed suffered at the hands of the story's downright sadistic villains and naturally has an axe to grind (and hopefully roll some heads off with it). Morgan Freeman gives an okay performance but really this movie makes little effort to be well-done instead of well-made.

Decent mystery that kept me involved, even if I'd seen this all before. The twist was good.

I felt this could have been better with the write script and marketing. Morgan Freeman always selects decent to great films. I have no doubt Ashley Judd is one of the most underrated actresses around. I wonder where she is. Anyways, this film's mood was dark, and the method of shooting the film. Maybe if there were more scenes that had action ala Silence of the Lambs or Bone Collector. Overall, it wasn't a boring film, it just needed a little more going on.

There are some cool parts to this movie. But, mostly it's just your average psycho-thriller.

This book is great so I wasn't so surprised that the movie didn't do it justice. It alright for a thriller but nothing fantastic.
