Having seen a sneak preview, I disagree with pro-JLo comments from other posters. She's no better than any of her other commercial movies, and certainly not as good as Out of Sight. That remains her one good performance and she has not yet equaled it. I mean, what battered wife has that complexion? That said, the rest of the cast is good and they make up for JLo's one-dimensional performance. Damian Lewis is the real surprise. To go from playing Soames Forsythe to a girlfriend-beater (with a perfect Yank accent to boot) is a real stretch and he pulls it off. Morgan Freeman is excellent as always, Cameron Manheim makes the most of her role and Robert Redford comes back from a string of disappointments. It's better than an airplane movie, and definitely something to consider after you've seen the Penguins, Broken Flowers and The Constant Gardener.
