It's movie making of the high, smooth, commercial order that Hollywood prides itself on but achieves with singular infrequency.Full Review

What neophyte scripterscripter Jeff Maguire's plot comes down to, however, is the cat-and-mouse game between Horrigan and Leary, and the craftiness and strategies involved on both sides, while not exactly ingenious, are tantalizing enough to compel interest.Full Review
