Good ensemble cast -- I particularly liked Brendan Fraser in this serious role (I think he needs to do more straight drama -- he was wonderful in "The Quiet American"). Andy Garcia added some dramatic weight, though perhaps a tad over the top in a couple of scenes.

agreed with you. Though did you feel like at times you couldnt tell if it was trying to be a drama , dark comedy, etc?
I thought though Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kevin Bacon outshined everyone in the film. Emile Hirsch i felt was very annoying in his role when usually i think he outshines everyone. This is not a great film and it did seem like at times they were pushing to make this something with a much higher goal. In the end it is enjoyable eventhough i have read many reviews bashing it. I enjoyed it and think it needs a few viewings to fully grasp the message of the movie. I plan on viewing it again soon.
