I give this one a 7 at best. The story of this one was decent and a little bit promising. The Actors cast for this movie are well known and adds to the initial promise, but fall short.
Columbus circle is created around Abigail (Selma Blair), a shut in Agoraphobic rich woman who has hidden herself away in her Apartment because of her fear of past events. It becomes an intertwined plot to somehow get to her and her money by a group of scammers including her Doctor.
All together it's not a bad movie, but not great either. Selma Blair gives a decent performance (I have never been a big fan of hers). I am a little disappointed in the rest of the cast though. Jason Lee should just stick to doing comedies because if this is his best at drama, it doesn't cut it. Beau Bridges as the Doctor treating Abigail is extremely weak, and the beautiful Amy Smart is just OK, which explains why we don't see her in a whole lot of real good movies. It's a shame because she is great eye candy. The detective investigating deaths around this Agoraphobic is played by Giovanni Ribisi, who is just OK as well, and isn't even a huge part of the movie.
The plot has a few twists and turns along the way that make for an interesting endgame. Because of that alone I give it a 7, but just feel the acting wasn't up to par the whole way through.
Worth watching, if it wasn't for the acting it may have been much better than good, so just don't expect Oscar worthy performances.
