NOTES Jennifer Lopez continues in her quest to make more bad films than Micheal Caine without the redeeming quality of Caine's even more numerous good films.
This is a slow, pseudo-mysterious tall tale with lots of talk and brief flashes of violence and a slight grip on reality. You know the sort of thing where she drives off without looking behind, lights are on in houses when the front door is opened, arrested villains aren't searched.
Catch's former mother-in-law uses an electric wheelchair. I didn't note how she became disabled but then many reviewers didn't notice she was his mother-in-law. She may have been injured in the car crash which killed his wife and children and sparked off the whole thing with Lopez's Chicago police officer. She does mention getting compensation. But who cares? The accusation I made of the film being pseudo-mysterious is because the guessing game we're led through is phoney and not an integral part of the plot. Just as the sub-plot of domestic violence doesn't have any relevance.
