I typically love these kind of movies, where the main character is set up to experience a life-or-death situation that causes true growth (like Sara Connor in the first Terminator movie). But it ends up being a lot of aimless running around in the woods made to set up situations where Basinger can kill her pursuers with items found in the toolbox from her car.
There are moments where she does even not try to get away — instead she continues to hang around near her pursuers and listen to their conversations. There are other places where she’s so clumsy and noisy it’s ridiculous. And the scene where she actually starts seducing one of the boys is laughable. Basinger has always been one of my least favorites actresses, but even Meryl Streep couldn’t have made this work…

Not until the final scene does she show signs of turning into someone different than the lame, superficial, brow-beaten housewife she started out as, and as satisfying as that is, it wasn’t worth watching the whole movie to get there.
Someone I respect greatly recommended this film. No more film recommendations from this person. The credits go on entirely too long, in part because there are 20 or so executive producers, Kim Basinger and Benicio Del Toro included. Del Toro’s a weak enough actor, but this movie proves he has even less talent for the production end.
Basinger plays a beaten-down housewife to an abusive husband (Sheffer), who ticks off a local gang (of four–a popular bunch) in a mall parking lot. After they murder the security guard who attempts to help her, they chase her in order to rape and murder her. Thus begins a formulaic and unrealistic chase and “beaten down woman realizes her power” story. Other than the methods she uses to kill the punks, everything is predictable, including the ending.
Even with all that, there are some idiotic things that still nagged at me:
1) Basinger’s character uses items from her car’s toolbox to kill the punks. Despite taking more and more things from it, it never rattles and gives away her position. Her gasping, freezing in place, shrieking, and urinating do more to give her away.
2) The movie’s set on Christmas Eve, but during most of the forest sequences, nobody’s breath steams.
3) This movie contains a double cliche: the too-intelligent multiracial gang. The gang is PC to the nth degree with one Caucasian, one African-American (-Canadian?), one Hispanic, and one Vietnamese. Gangs form out of common factors, race being the most obvious–can we please have a realistic bunch of punks on film? They also don’t use words like “incendiary” or look wistful when talking about “seeing the ocean just once.”
If you want to see a good crime story with Lukas Haas, either get “Witness” or “Brick.”
