The movie was written and directed by Tony Gilroy , son of the playwright Frank D. Gilroy (" The Subject Was Roses ").
Not since Jennifer Jason Leigh wailed her way through that nine-minute "Take Me Back" in Georgia has a scene marshaled so much force out of simple repetition.
In a variation on "True Confessions" and a hundred old crime stories, Doc's frenemy from the old days is Bigfoot Bjornsen of the LAPD, who makes Jack Webb look like Dennis Hopper in "Easy Rider."
Directing children has to be a challenge for any director, especially if they are aiming for realism, and Alexa Vega (1999's "The Deep End of the Ocean") and newcomer Daryl Sabara are up to the challenge.
The same holds true for Jonathan Jackson ("On the Edge," "The Deep End of the Ocean"), Maura Tierney ("Instinct," "Forces of Nature") and Martin Donovan ("Living Out Loud," "The Portrait of a Lady") in their smaller roles.
