FHM, March 2002
When NY headshrinker Nathan Conrad (Douglas) works his magic with
a catatonic teen, Elizabeth (Murphy), he finds she has an unusual
case worker: violent criminal Koster (Bean), who needs the doc
to tease a seven-digit number out of Elizabeth's head which will
lead him to a stash of hidden loot. And just to ensure Conrad's
co-operation, he's abuducted his young daughter. There follows
much run-of-the-mill kidnap action and mobile-phone shenanigans,
all cleverly plotted but ultimately uninvolving. However, any
script that keeps the fantastic Famke Janssen in her underwear
for the
entire film - she's broken her leg in a skiing accident - must
have some merit.
