I hadn't heard anything about this film when I saw it at the video store (the video store in Denmark--my expat status has left me woefully out of touch with American film releases).  I thought, "How bad can it be?  I like Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston." Well, it was worse than I could possibly imagine.  They use a sick child to gain sympathy for a moronic character.  At first, you wonder if Clive Owen's character has any common sense, morality or back-bone but then you realize as the movie progresses that he truly has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.  I talked myself out of turning off the movie because I thought maybe the unrealistic storyline would be tied up at the end.  It ended with all turning out well for this character when it really shouldn't have.  Most of the main characters die, and I wouldn't have cared if they all did.

This is a true case of wanting my two hours back!
