Ben Affleck has a better than average performance. Samuel L. Jackson is also good although more subdued than his typical bombastic self. I was impressed at how bleak the movie dared to be. I also felt for both characters. The only weakness in the film was it's substandard treatment of women. I thought Collette was wasted in her role and Peet was as frightening as the terminator. Whoever wrote this screenplay may have some issues with women or doesn't know any nice ladies. I was surprised by Sydney Pollack, because he is quite subtle in his performance and realistic. He seemed less self-aware than in "Eyes Wide Shut".
