The actor performances were excellent, especially Daryll Hannah and Moira Kelly. The movie is never boring and I feel it is very underrated. The ending is full of fiery action and I think that it is one of the better thrillers(more than Single White Female and Fatal Attraction). I'd reccommend it. The color , pans, and tilts in the cinematography along with the music make the film very intimate and enjoyable.

The picture is good on the blu ray but the sound has a loud background noise that resembles the sound of a waterfall in most of the film. The disc should be recalled.

"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" was a little better than
"The Tie That Binds" but this movie is a good movie.After a couple break into a house to steal some food for their daughter and the cops show up their little daughter Janie is taken to an orphanage by the Cliftons,a decent couple who don't have any children.Problem is the Cliftons don't know that Janie's parents are outlaws and are trying to find her and will stop at nothing to do so.Even if they have to kill everyone they know to do it.
The movie has pretty good performances by Daryl Hannah and Keith Carradine.Don't listen to the other reviews on the internet,this is a pretty good movie.B for the movie,B for the acting.Enjoy!!!

I found this film to be suspenseful even though the plot sometimes seems to be implausable.The main actors did a decent job in their roles.I would recommend the film as being entertaining but sometimes melodramatic.

"I thought this movie was great, I remember I watched it some years back, but never got the movie. The two outlaw parents were crazy people and proved that they would'nt let anything get in their way to get their daughter."

Lovely little Julia Devin as Janie, the little girl in this well crafted thriller, is the soul of this movie, and her plight and situation forms the crux of this movie. Director Wesley Strick has added some beautiful visual scenes: a sheet blowing in the wind; fireflies flickering in front of the vacant house; little Janie framed in a window with curtains blowing and a picturesque night sky. Daryl Hannah and Keith Carradine are ominously evil in their roles as Janie's real criminal parents; Vincent Spano and Moira Kelly offer a nice counterpoint to these evil duo and display a strong, nurturing relationship for Janie. There are a couple of plot holes: why didn't they ever find the social worker after her demise? What makes Hannah turn on Carradine? But, as far as this type of thriller goes, THE TIE THAT BINDS is a worthy entry.

Thrills, suspense, violence...All this with a sweet undertone of an innocent child. Carradine and Hannah played two psychotic killers...a great stretch for their normal roles. They were both convincingly scary, and I wouldn't want to come across them in the middle of the night. Sour story of spree killing. Not recommended for young children. If you love Vincent Spano, he does an excellent job in this movie. I watched this movie because he was in it. He gets 100 stars from me.

I watched it coz it wasfrom the same maker(s) of "The hand that rocks the cradle" & I had high expectations. All I can say is it's no near to that movie & this film is such a disappointment.
