A family favorite submitted by ValerieL on June 24, 2019, 4:04pm At least in my family, it's a favorite. Great suspense without being scary, a fabulous mystery, and a lot of fun. Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo play well off of each other providing great fun.

A Romantic Thriller with a Heist (or Several) submitted by Meginator on August 20, 2021, 7:57pm This is a stylish romantic thriller, although I was almost expecting a twist ending that never came. Pierce Brosnan effortlessly embodies the air of a disaffected billionaire looking for more thrills in his life, and Rene Russo’s unconventional insurance investigator is a compelling and well-matched antagonist for him. The film has a good amount of tension throughout and its ending, while not particularly surprising, is satisfying. The story can get a little bit away from itself at times, and the straightforward storytelling almost feels like a throwback now, but the lead actors’ excellent chemistry and the cleverly plotted heists make this film well worth watching for a bit of escapism and a hint of drama.
