I'm curious what you thought if you did.

I saw spots for it on the "Twenty" every time I saw a movie in May.

I had the intention to watch it, but didn't.

Yeah, I watched it. It was OK, nothing special. Pretty good acting by Timothy Hutton and the rest of the cast helped.

I watched it and also thought it was OK. For being advertised to death, the payoff wasn't huge for me. The most freaky thing in the series was the girl looked a heck of lot like Drew Barrymore in her Firestarter days.

Yeah, it was fine, but a let-down from all the hype. It had a lot of promise in the beginning, but didn't hold togehter as well as it should have to be a good movie. The little girl was almost annoying as I had to keep reminding myself it wasn't Drew Barrymore.

Was anyone else annoyed to death by the way overused "artsy" photography which skipped frames? It gave me a headache and took me out of the scene every time it was used which was usually in action scenes. It took all the action out.
