… I’LL NEVER TELL.
Michael Douglas grows older in his movies but his young families never do. Isnāt that typical? Still, this is a fairly exciting thriller where he as a family man and brilliant psychiatrist faces a worthy challenge ā he must make a mental patient give him a six-digit code, or else his kidnapped daughter will die. This is undeniably a contrived tale, but cleverly put together and that counts for a lot. The villains are predictably very unsympathetic, but Brittany Murphy does her role justice as the post-traumatically stressed girl who doesnāt feel like sharing…
