Following a smooth takeoff, this psychological thriller hits some turbulence and crash lands due to a preposterous, almost comical, turn of events.

Succeeds admirably, both as a sophisticated psychological thriller and as an example of, if not great art, then superb craftsmanship.

The vanished child one really misses here is that adorably sparky, wised-up kid from Bugsy Malone and Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More.

As with many modern thrillers the actual plot, once it comes to light, is highly implausible, there are a few too many turns towards the end and the climax errs towards the anti-climatic. That being said, it's well put together and entertainingly moody.

One of those thrillers that pivots around the question of how daring -- or how focus-group cautious -- we suspect the filmmakers will turn out to be.

[Foster's] such a valuable commodity that I wish she'd spend her time making better movies.

It's always a bad sign in a thriller when the big reveal is greeted by hoots of derisive laughter.
