Making his way home for the Thanksgiving holiday, Conrad is summoned by a colleague to examine a young woman. Elisabeth Burrows presents a history of unexplained violence, failed treatments and misdiagnoses. In short, the kind of case Nathan used to live for before he went 'uptown.' Now he is Elisabeth's last chance before she is shipped off to a state institution. Nathan's skills and intuition begin to make headway into Elisabeth's case. Little does Nathan suspect that Elisabeth is tied to a danger that has closed in on him and his family. Nathan's daughter has been kidnapped by ruthless thieves, and to save her he must somehow unlock a 6-digit number locked away in Elisabeth's troubled mind. With his daughter's captors watching his every move, Nathan is constantly reminded: if he wants to see his daughter alive, he dare not say a single word.

I rescued this DVD from what was most likely non-rental purgatory at the closing of my local Blockbuster, but I didn't buy it just because it was only a couple bucks. Despite being a run-of-the-mill thriller with bad acting and Michael Douglas, this movie has one thing going for it: a really, really, REALLY good premise. I still remembered the trailer from when I was in Jr. High school. However even with a really cool plot, there's really not too much to say about it unfortunetely; Brittany Murphy's acting performance is....well...it doesn't really do much to preserve her good name. Its far from bad though, once again I absolutely love the overall story premise, the intro bank heist is really well done, and Sean Bean has one of the best villain deaths I've seen in a LONG time. In short, nothing outstanding but ok.
Excellent thriller, un des meilleurs rôles de Brittany Murphy qui vient de nous quitter
Una cinta patetica que pretende ofrecer mucho suspenso y emocion y termina generando risas que no estaban pensadas. Diganle a todos: ESta cinta no vale la pena.
This was an interesting thriller. Brittany Murrphy played an good crazy person. Micheal Douglas tries to help her while trying to save his own family. Good rental.
I liked playing the MegaMan arcade game! It's a regular MegaMan game, but with no levels, only bosses! Eat my cannon, Cut Man!

Michael Douglas give a pretty good performance as the Psychiatrist trying to save his daughter. If people like good thriller movies this would be one of them.
