I saw it on a day when the power was out at my place so maybe I was just happy to be in a place with electricity. Shrug.<br /><br />I definitely agree that Winona Ryder was in movie jail. She's another Rene Russo where she is proof positive that there are about 5 actresses that get lead parts once they turn 40.

I didn't like it. The two leads really don't share the screen that much. And the twist? Ugh. Also, why set Devon Aoki as psychotic badass and then squander it?<br /><br />Side-bar about Winona Ryder's career. I think after "The Shoplifting Incident", she was put in movie jail and never recovered or people were afraid her image as a leading lady was ruined and lead roles dried up. Kind of comes across as sexist since there is a case to be made that a few leading men have burned more bridges but have been given a second chance.Shannon Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736249327322979437noreply@blogger.com
