...an enjoyable little genre picture -- tense and stylish and full of Johnny Depp.

Adapted from a Stephen King novella, the film lurches tiredly through the author's favorite masochistic-narcissistic fantasy, subjecting a woebegone writer to a gauntlet of abuse.

[I]t's so refreshing to see a thriller that doesn't compromise itself with a pat Hollywood ending.

This is, in short, a mystery story that has very little actual mystery.

The plot certainly has possibilities, but far too many of them are botched by writer-director David Koepp, who's a better writer than director.

The story is so basic that it makes a fine template for an exercise in style, and Koepp layers on the details with great relish.
