You'll know better, but you'll still like it. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/27/2003
If you're willing to swallow those formulaic plot machinations, you may reasonably enjoy this rough-hewn debut effort, which is far more effective in its quieter, dialogue-heavy moments than when it attempts more ambitious cinematic conceits. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 10/23/2003
