Two
bored rich kids plan the
perfect murder.
Sandra Bullock is very
likable. Here she plays
a homicide detective who
isn't all that likable
and she does so rather
well. I liked this movie,
it was good to see Bullock
in a bit of a different
role and there's two somewhat
interesting teens as the
bad guys. Each boy forms
a separate relationship
will Bullock and the police,
that is interesting to
watch develop. I was a
little curious about the
relationship between the
two boys. There are definite
references to them being
lovers, but it is never
stated either way.
The boys (Gosling &
Pitt) perform well, but
I felt their personas
were a little off. The
quiet, brilliant kid was
a little too cryptic.
The popular "lady's
man" was a little
too goofy.
It is a less than suspenseful
movie but a good story.
I found the supporting
characters useful and
Bullock's lead is well
formed and performed.
Directed by Barbet Schroeder.
