Adrien Brody and Maura Tierney in a "buried alive!" thriller, this oughta be fantastic! So I thought. This is an MOR straight-to-cableish film. Tierney does a good job of playing the "badass cop on the outside, masochist on the inside." Brody is way too obnoxious as the male lead. The film starts out entertaining and action-packed, but then there is strange character development between the two leads that doesn't make much sense. It tries really hard to say something deep, but isn't clear as to what that is. There are some interesting plot twists that will keep you watching, but overall this one is only for fans of Tierney and "buried alive!" movies in general. My Rating: 5/10.
