Kim Basinger proves she's worthy of her L.A. CONFIDENTIAL Oscar with this nailbiter of a thriller. The actress stars as a wife and mother who is abused by her husband (Craig Sheffer), as her young children look on. But when she is faced with a life-or-death situation, the woman ably steps up to the plate and shows that she may not be a victim. After giving a nice performance in BRICK, Lukas Haas continues his trend of playing creepy villains.
