O'Neill proves to be a squeamish screenwriter. He doesn't allow his villain to do anything truly unnerving until the story's nearly done.

A buff Streep vs. bad guy Bacon on a wild river journey in which good acting overcomes several cliches.

Terrible "suspense" movie. Predictable and no action until the end.

It looks like an action movie, sounds like an action movie, but there's a lot more going on here.
