A bunch of really fine actors dealing with a cliche-rich, hackneyed, often-contrived script directed without a hint of irony or humor. The last half hour especially challenged me to like this film, but overall, I enjoyed it. We've seen this before, though this time around's better than average. Again, the performances (particularly Alison Elliott's) deserve much praise, but director Zlotoff should try to put his MacGyver days further behind him.
