    It was a thrill... maybe not the storyline but watching Kiefer :D the rest of the actors weren't bad either!

    F-ed up story. I heard the original Asian version is better. Bridges and Sutherland are such great actors.

    Keifer Sutherland is brilliant. This is an early film of his but is still very good. Not a lot of stuff happening but it was quite good.

    Very cool movie. Although Sandra wasn't in it that long she was great in it. Kiefer Sutherland was very good in this one. Great film! A thriller! Fun to watch and see what happens next. Keeps you on your toes and keeps you interested. Good solid film!

    This remake has a really good cast. But compared to the original, this doesn't hold a candle. There is literally almost no suspense or thrills to keep you interested.

    I liked the story, it was a good thriller and it made you to stay and watch. But I must say the book is far more different as the film and the Dutch version. The conclusion of this film: an excellent thriller!

    Don't waist an hour and a half or anytime of your life watching this American remake. The Dutch original was far superior and it was hauntingly scarey too.

    This movie was so suspenseful and scary....I couldn't figure out while I was watching it how Nancy Travis had a bigger role than Sandra Bullock until I looked at the year. Its from before Speed. So that TRULY explains it. It was so good. It shows how great of an actress Sandra Bullock was back than and showing that she paid her dues....I couldn't believe the shock of what her character went through in this movie and you will see it with Keifer. Keifer Sutherland was so good too. And Nancy Travis was amazing...and how creepy was Jeff Bridges....I never saw him like this before. ALL talented actors and it made a VERY VERY good movie!!! EXCELLENT!

    I have seen this one a few times,and each time, I am still on the edge of my seat. Bridges is truly a diabolically,sick individual in this one. An d Keifer, whoa. I love him.

    Very touching, and you watch the film feeling Kiefer's character's every emotions. Including his pain, and one can't help but feel for Nancy Travis's character.

    J'ai beaucoup aimé comparer la première version et le remake, les deux de George Sluizer. Il a sûrement rigolé un bon coup en tournant le remake!

    Good mystery, terrific performances, and Kiefer literally gets buried alive while making the film! See it

    There's something about this movie that I really like. Might be Jeff Bridges' great performance, might be the gorgeous filming locations. I always watch it when it's on.

    Quite liked this movie, but then again I've never seen the original from the sound of it, if I'd seen the original first, I wouldnt feel so highly of this version.

    An absolute disgrace of a remake! Perhaps Sluizer ruined the narrative on purpose so that his original would remain the one to see.

    If you want to see the difference between Hollywood films and most foreign films, watch this then the original back to back.

    Terrible remake. Watch the original Dutch version. This one has the typical American happy ending bullcrap!!

    A remake of a european thriller. Sutherland plays a man trying to find out what happened to his girlfriend who vanished out of the blue. Great thriller, and a wonderful performance by Bridges as the baddy.

    A remake of a Dutch movie, because this is an american version they wanted a happy end. the orginal dutch ending is more scary.

    C'est dommage. Vraiment dommage. Vous voulez dire que j'ai cherché ce film pendant plusieurs mois, que j'ai même passé à deux doigts de me l'acheter dans un Walmart, et que finalement c'est un navet (ou presque)? Je m'en veux, parce qu'en fait je viens de me rendre compte que je viens de voir le remake, et ça me déçoit beaucoup. Pourtant, le film était bien parti, le script était joli et le suspense tenait bon... Jusqu'à temps qu'on réalise que le script déraille, que Bridges et Sutherland sont à chier et totalement pas crédibles. Fait vraiment chier. L'histoire est débile, mais la réalisation est tellement mauvaise que ça me rappelle des airs à la Nicole Garcia. God que ça devait torcher aux Pays-bas.

    Synopsis: Writer-director Andrew Bergman is capable of funny, funny stuff, but this movie runs out of jokes long before it runs out of comic ideas. The result is a series of comedy concepts that never get past the one-liner stage and are distinctly unsatisfyin...
