    There is a Conspiracy Theory going around that this is a good film!

    Julia during her mega-star stage when her acting was good and her street cred impeccable. I ALWAYS love Mel Gibson. The film is threatening and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

    Gibson and Roberts, throw in patrick stewart and the movie should have been a lot better. Decent movie but just okay.
  • March 5, 2008
    Gibson is psychotic in this bad boy...Patrick Stewart is also simultaneously hilarious and bad ass...love it.
  • November 19, 2009
    I hate Julia Robers, and I don't much care for Mel Gibson either, but this one was good.
  • November 13, 2009
    I liked it, but it was just too dark in places.
  • November 12, 2009
    the end a little dry...but THAT only comparative to the plot of the film
  • October 12, 2009
    A good action movie, with - at least to me - surprises

    "You're looking for a man with no nose!"

    1997 Director: Richard Donner) Funky story line...brain washing is the theme....Mel Gibson plays a seemingly obsessed man following Julia Roberts with hangups like having to buy the book "Catcher in the Rye" everywhere he goes!! Much deeper plot than the surface of a seemingly harmless obssessive man...
