Jennifer Lopez is not my favourite actress and I dont think she particularly stands out like some of the A listers but in this film I think she did an alright job. Her performance as an abused wife was quite believable and I think the part suited her level of acting.

Billy Campbell was an excellent choice for this role. He came across as a loving caring Husband and no one would of believed he would have had a dark side. When his alter ego first rears its ugly head you can see how quick someone can turn from a trusting, loving person into a controlling and abusive one. He definitely made his character a very believable villian.

I have to say I think Tessa Allen who played Gracie did an award winning job. Alot of the scenes she was in were pretty scary and she did an excellent job of acting out these scenes and looked genuinely frightened all the time. Seeing those particular scenes definitely pulls at your heartstrings.

This film is really quite good, like most similar films it is very much predictable, although there is a little bit of doubt at the end on which way it might actually go.

As a thriller its not quite as 'on the edge of your seat scary' like films such as Silence of the Lambs but it does have its moments.
