Amazon.com

Ridiculous, manipulative, and utterly irresistible, this push-button thriller instantly qualifies as a guilty pleasure, even when you know it's just a B-movie potboiler with moxie to spare. Taking a savvy clue from Ashley Judd's Double Jeopardy and any number of endangered-female melodramas from Hollywood's golden age, Jennifer Lopez stars as a blue-collar beauty who marries the really wrong guy (Billy Campbell). Eventually, of course, she discovers his philandering and spends the rest of the movie in nomadic flight from his hot-tempered brutality. Bankrolled by her estranged father (Fred Ward), she protects her young daughter, but knowing she must face the inevitable showdown with Campbell, she buffs up with Krav Maga self-defense courses and... well, we won't spoil the "surprise." With Campbell doing everything but twirl his mustache, this shameless provocation is beneath the talents of director Michael Apted, but with J. Lo in charge, it's a revenge fantasy that's guaranteed to please. --Jeff Shannon

From The New Yorker

Jennifer Lopez lends her considerable screen presence, and not much more, to this one-dimensional story about a crazy but hunky husband (Billy Campbell) who hunts down his fleeing wife and child. The director Michael Apted-who should know better-attempts to add some zing with a bogus conspiracy plot and dubious empowerment episodes. -Bruce Diones

4.0 out of 5 stars Female Empowerment, July 12, 2004

Jennifer Lopez stars as Slim in this thriller about an abused woman who flees her rich and well-connected husband Mitch (Bill Campbell). At stake is not only Slim's well-being but also the psychological and physical protection of their young daughter Gracie (played adorably by little Tessa Allen). Although this flick has the trappings of a feminist fight-back story with its theme of domestic violence and custody laws, make no mistake: this is a thriller through and through, with twists and violence and personal peril at every turn. Women will delight in the training scenes where J-Lo prepares to fight back, and men will hardly mind the sight of the buff actress learning to defend herself.

Yeah, the premise as it unfolds is a little ridiculous, especially as Mitch seems to have a GPS system to track his fleeing wife, but the escapism is pure adrenaline-rushing fun. Jennifer Lopez is naturally appealing and solid in her performance, although the emotional range of the role seems to demand only fierceness and fright. Still, the chemistry between her and young co-star Allen is unmistakable, even poignant. Noah Wylie does a fantastic turn as Robbie, a character I won't describe for fear of spoiling the plot. Juliette Lewis has her usual on-screen charisma even though she's not given much to work with.

This film was much better than I expected. Viewers hoping for something new or even substantial on the theme of domestic violence will be disappointed since it only serves as a plot device to put Lopez's character in danger. This would make a great date flick since men will appreciate the constant action (not to mention the lead actress) and women will be drawn to the subject matter.

1.0 out of 5 stars One Star Is More Than Enough!, May 27, 2002

By	SCARFACE "The Maniac Physcho" - See all my reviews

If there is a movie to skip this summer, please make sure it is enough! Nothing about the movie will impress you. j. lopez marries a man realizing that he is pure trouble. After being abused constantly she seeks revenge. lopez's acting seemed fake and made me and the audience laugh bigtime at the thearter when she tried to act serious about being afraid of her husband in the movie. I mean this movie was an absolute joke basically of lopez's cheesy acting. It did poor at the box office in it's first weekend, and everybody should expect that the movie continues to do poorly at the box office.
