This film is Underrated the acting is top notch a fantastic cast and a excellent story. It keeps you entertained and engaged through the whole film. No down time and it builds to a excellent ending. Jeff bridges acting is so diverse hes the ultimate hero yet a very disturbing villian. If you enjoy thrillers the 1990s provided some of the best!! Watch and enjoy!! Also watch breakdown, and search 1990s thrillers and watch them all.

My immediate attention focused completely on this film and was absolutely kept on the very edge of my seat! Jeff Bridges, (Barney Cousins),"Seabiscuit",'03, gave me a great shock with his fantastic acting role. Even when Barney was beaten up by Kiefer Sutherland(Jeff Harriman),"24",'01 TV series, he was still able to talk almost with a broken jaw and a swollen face.(great acting for Bridges) Sandra Bullock (Jeff Harriman's wife) played a very sweet and loving young bride who ran out of gas and was left in her car, which was in a tunnel. I greatly enjoyed Nancy Travis,(Rita Baker),"Becker",'98 TV series, who came to the aid of Jeff Harriman and was on a wild goose chase and wound up even digging up a grave! Great acting and a wonderful THRILLER!

This George Sluizer remake of his own 1988 Dutch version has 13 life lessons that we can all personally incorporate into our daily lives:

1. Every time you chloroform yourself be sure you are laying on a creaky mattress.

2. If you are driving Sandra Bullock somewhere be sure you have plenty of gas, she doesn't like when you run out.

3. If you are a server in a small-town diner and some cracked out dude stops in for coffee don't chat him up and force warm milk on him unless you want your life to spiral (and never, ever let him sleep on the breakroom cot in the back of the diner or it will just be worse).

4. Don't use incriminating passwords to hide your incriminating documents.

5. Don't rip a wig off your girlfriend's head even if she is only wearing the wig to hurt you.

6. During an argument don't ever say "I may not be as smart as you!" because you just gave too much ground there.

7. Never wear a butter colored sweater because it just might end up being the day of your life that you look back on forever and you will always have to see that Land O' Lakes rag in every flashback.

8. If you get away with murder don't start reaching out to the victim's loved ones if you want to keep getting away with your heinous crime.

9. Constantly record angry voicemail greeting messages in case it stops a psycho lurking behind you from abducting and murdering you.

10. If your kid jumps off the roof of your house just don't bring him home from the hospital and move 3 towns over.

11. Don't sneak out of your parent's house to meet your boyfriend at a carnival unless you want your father to suffer a horrific death.

12. Anything you drink with a visibly shaking hand is going to lead to you waking up in a coffin.

13. Unless you are one of the Wet Bandits if you get a shovel to the face it will likely be the last thing you ever see.

A set of commandments to live by worthy of Moses.
