A good performance of Dafoe made this film worthy to watch.

A well-acted film that builds suspense until the end, but ends unsatisfactorily, especially considering the waste of good actors.

Some strong acting, especially by the always engaging Helen Mirren, but the nonlinear editing can't hide how dull and protypical this kidnapping story is.

Justin Haythe, who wrote The Clearing, obviously suffers from a rare writer's version of Stockholm Syndrome. Otherwise I can't figure out why I should care about any of this.

Rather disappointing considering the all-star cast. Seems aimless and anticlamactic.

Was this a character study or a suspense film? I don't know and I'm not sure the director did either. It's one of those movies you appreciate for trying something and doing a decent job of it, even if ultimately it doesn't quite work.
