This thriller, a bit Pacific Heights in that Nicole Kidman and Bill Paxton's married Boston couple take in a charismatic but likely troublesome renter to overcome a financial trouble, is really quite fun despite how silly and overstuffed it all is, featuring an entire serial rapist/killer subplot (with an early career Gwyneth Paltrow) seemingly for the sole purpose of justifying the taking of a sperm sample for a grander story arc involving a too-good-to-be-true Uncle Charlie, a ludicrous Rear Window flourish, and a Witness For The Prosecution consultation in a squalid apartment where truths are out.
★★☆☆☆
