But, man, it's really let down by the lead, who cannot generate any kind of empathy even outside of being someone who goes farther than just hit someone and run but make sure they cannot get help were they alive but merely unconscious and dying. He's bland and unlikable, a scrub who somehow lucked up on a rich girl despite having all the charm of a weed eater and no business acumen. He's just lame, and the movie giving him a happy ending in which he gets off scot-free is insulting. I don't care if the guy he killed was a murderous bank robber: He's ALSO a criminal. And despite how the movie makes him inconvenienced, he's not paid his debt. And I can't root for someone so creepily bankrupt that he'd kill someone, hide it, keep going to look at the body, and never turn himself in. He thought he killed his wife's brother, saw that family's pain, and did nothing! So I'm assuming they're implying he took over Ashbury's spot? Also, he's a nasty piece of work for covering for the guy cheating on his wife, leaving her possibly at risk for STÎs or worse!
Also, his wife sucks, willing to help cover things up even when suspecting her husband killed the brother she's so broken up about. I kept hoping that bag she threw in the water would come back to sink her husband, given how stupid it was of her to do that, but no.
James Spader is that go-to guy for a villain, but I'd rather he'd been the lead. At least he has charisma.
Weird, random stuff: Lacey. Just everything with that annoying, superfluous character. (Also, stick to voice acting.) And the ridiculously unprofessional secretary who keeps her chest out. I'd fire a secretary for dressing like a barmaid.
Finally, they could have been more ambitious. The ways I saw the story potentially going would have been better than what we got.
