This is a typical soft spoken rental movie for an slow sunday afternoon with your boyfriend/girlfriend :)
It does all the standard moves according to the crime/suspense genre when the detective, (the miscast Sandra Bullock) and her partner tries to capture the two killers, both rich and blasé but highly intelligent school kids.
The scenes in the film are well managed, all the angles correct as we slowly learn how the murder was done. Thankfully, this movie does not contain the ordinary huge fireworks/special FX/audio FX budget. And there is no need for such audio/visual effects either.
But why must
1) The detective be tortured by his/her past?
2) The storyline use the most predictable path?
3) The detective/protagonist alienate the freshman partner, and have a boss that misunderstands her?
4) The protagonist always face danger without backup?
5) The protagonist risk her job due to zealousness?
There are many more examples but you can find out yourselves if you have a couple of hours to spend watching this movie. 6/10.
