With its great camerawork, magnificent soundtrack and very stylish pictures , I rather liked the movie. The story too, was quite interesting and reminded me at first of "The Vanishing" (1993) with Kiefer Sutherland. One does never know, if this is really happening and Senga (Madeleine Stowe) is part of an obscure conspiracy, or if those occurences aren't just imaginations of an always stressed mother who eats pills like candies. Another rather interesting occurence, are those allusions by "The Father", the charismatic cultis-leader, on Sengas past. However, this is were the drawbacks are: From where does he know those things? This is never revealed, although it is quite important for the ongoing plot. Likewise is the metamorphosis of Senga from a slightly psychotic, mother to a sort of "Lara Croft" "fightress"� how should I say� astounding? (On the other hand, doesn't one say, that mothers become hyenas when it's about their children� who knows?) If the plot had been more worked out, something very awesome could have been done with the storyline.
