7/10
Well-crafted on all counts, but that's about it
28 November 1999
This is a well-crafted, enjoyable film -- well-acted, well-written, well-directed. In terms of substance, however, it's just a cut or two above your average TV movie of the week. Characters are interesting, and there are crises a-plenty, but with 10 minutes or so to go in the film, everything is neatly wrapped up in a bow and placed at our feet, just so. No muss, no fuss. The film's great saving grace, however, is sharp performances throughout from Liev Schreiber, Diane Lane, Tovah Feldshuh, Viggo Mortenson, and Anna Pacquin.
