Director John Curran (The Painted Veil) reunites with Edward Norton for this psychological thriller. A convict tries to manipulate his parole officer through his beautiful wife. There are some interesting ideas in the script by Angus MacLachlan (Junebug) that puts emphasis on the characters but fail on the story. The film may have had an element of surprise with a more inspired casting where Norton and Robert DeNiro recycle previous performances which is also true for the supporting cast that includes Milla Jovovich and Frances Conroy. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
