Inaction thriller
21 April 2002
This psychological thriller was something of a way to pass the time for director Robert Zemeckis.

While making Cast Away, one of the world's most lucrative film-makers decided to have a year off so Tom Hanks could spend the time getting into character for the rest of the movie.

Instead of taking it easy, the director hired Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford for a Hitchcockian tale of murder, suspense and intrigue.

Pfeiffer stars as a doctor's wife troubled by terrifying visions of a ghostly girl who seems to be asking for help from beyond the grave - little suspecting the sinister manifestations are about to reveal shocking truths about her own marriage.

Diana Scarwid, Joe Morton and James Remar also star in this disappointing offering which does boast an audacious finale. Pfeiffer, paralysed for a short time, attempts to stay alive before drowning in her own bath.

Little happens during this scene. In fact the movie could have kicked off a new genre of 'inaction' thrillers.
