While the camera is at Abby's back her glass is 1/2 full, the camera then cuts to Randall's back, and her glass is now only 1/4 full... She takes a sip at this point and upon placing her glass back down the camera angle changes again and her glass is now magically 3/4 full. Once again the camera angle changes again immediately after, and her glass is back to being 1/4 full.

Intelligent Thriller

When their happy lifestyle is suddenly interrupted and turned upside down by the forceful intrusion of a menacing kidnapper (Brosnan), Abby and Neil (Bello and Butler) are left with no choice but to follow the increasingly difficult demands and tests set them by this man. It's edge-of-the-seat stuff most of the way, with plenty of twists and turns and even when you get to that stage where you think you know all the answers, something else catches you off guard. The three leading actors all provide sound performances in this intelligent, edgy little thriller, with Brosnan proving yet again, because a lot of people seem not to have realised it before, that he really can act.
