The Acting

Cage isn’t bad and Biel deserves her reputation as one of the hottest young actresses of her generation. With each role, including this one, Biel’s proving she’s got talent and depth. Taken separately, the acting worked. But I can’t help thinking this would have been better with a younger actor in Cage’s place or an older actress in place of Biel. I just don’t see these two characters as portrayed in the film hooking up in the real world, which makes it hard to accept them getting together in less than 24 hours on the screen.

Just about everything is wrong with Julianne Moore’s portrayal of a government agent, although it’s necessary to cut her some slack because, honestly, she’s forced to deliver horrible lines and that’s a major part of the problem. The other supporting actors are completely forgettable, with the exception of a tiny appearance by Peter Falk whose character seems to have wandered in from an earlier version of the script.
