Brittany Murphy existed in this. Her performance was great and the film isn't a bad film although it has been done too many times to stand out from the crowd. Its very cliché and been done so many times. From the off the film has you gripped and carries you along with enough intrigue to keep you watching. But what is distracting is the state of Brittany Murphy's health. Yes we all know this is her last film but you really need to watch this movie to know why. She is underweight, pale, sunken eyes and really bad lank hair. Why she wasn't in hospital instead of making this movie i will never know. Such a shame as she was really great in spite of her health problems in this film. Some things simply cannot be hidden by make up. RIP Brittany x

I would agree with most of the other reviews. About 20-30 minutes into this movie I could tell I was going to be disappointed but I went ahead and finished it. The acting was garbage, other than Brittany Murphy. The script also crap, the story itself...totally played out and seemed familiar the whole time. All in all, I would not recommend this movie to anyone. There is nothing unique about this movie at all, not to mention all the horrible acting. daddy daddy dded d dds dudder DDS daddy dodder dudder

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The story line is the WORST. I don't know how it can see the light of production. There are so many holes in the plot. There is no logic at all. First of all, when you make a wire transfer, it takes TIME for the money to actually transferring to the account. Second, if they just try to threaten her with her boyfriend's life into wiring them money, why do they have to do it in a hospital, where there are MANY potential witnesses. They could have just kidnapped him from their home. There are many others. I am just tired to point all them out. The acting is terrible. The first second, she was pointing a gun at somebody, like a pro. The next second, she was gasping in shock, like a little school girl.

This movie should have never left editing. It is absolutely horrible! My wife and I tried to watch this twice before actually finishing it. The acting is horrible. The casting was brutal. The psychologist was so boring I had to refrain from FForwading every time he was on the screen. The cop had a facial tick. Brit was in rough shape with horrible makeup and hair. This movie must have had the budget of Blair Witch without any of the success! Do not watch this movie, you will never get that wasted time back! If you have rented it or own a copy, please destroy it so that we can save mankind from this garbage!

Although this film has not had the best of reviews, I decided to watch it for myself. I'm glad with my decision, as I was glued to the screen from start to finish and would say that it was not the disappointment as previous viewers had hinted. I will admit that after a short while it was easy to guess what was going on with the plot, but even so I was still rather pleasantly surprised with the couple of twists that lay in store for me. I'm not convinced that some of the supporting cast were that great, particularly Scott Anthony Leet who I felt was rather 'wooden'. However, the main characters certainly got my vote. It's rather sad that we wont be seeing any more of Brittany Murphy.

There is a germ of a good idea in this film, playing to the common fear of hospitals and the lack of control one feels in the hands of doctors and administrators. But the production values are so cheap and direction unimaginative that it would be embarrassing quality for TV. Aside from Ms Murphy (for we shall not speak ill of the dead) the acting is almost universally terrible. The entire thing appears to be shot in a few rooms, stairwells and a parking garage with one camera, while odd music plays constantly in an effort to generate tension that a script riddled with implausible dialog cannot. Utter waste of time.
