3.5 out of 5

Key Performances:

  Halle Berry
  Benicio Del Toro
  David Duchovny
  Alison Lohman
  John Carroll Lynch
Movie Haiku:Spectacular performance by Del Toro with strong back-up from supporting cast somewhat undone by Berry, who doesn't have sufficient intensity to hold the center as a widow coping with the violent death of her slightly too-perfect husband (Duchovny). Del Toro's an addict shaken clean by events.
