Thriller. Mystery In the underbelly of lower Manhattan, Frannie Avery (Meg Ryan), a reserved English professor, becomes obsessed after seeing more than she should of an impassioned couple. After the young woman turns up dead, Frannie is questioned by a homicide detective (Mark Ruffalo) who draws her into a liberating but disturbing erotic encounter. As the body count rises, familiar suspects begin to emerge.

United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"This is a thriller that, like some classic noirs, glories in its own mean aura"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The result, sadly, is a mess."	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Jane Campion's astonishingly beautiful new film may be the most maddening and imperfect great movie of the year."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Ryan radiates neither desire nor terror. She's freeze-dried in a world of lifelessly abstract feminine fear"	NEG
