Oh goodie, a Jennifer Lopez movie for those who sat through the Mariah Carey and can't wait for the Britney Spears to arrive at the store. Except that - surprise - Lopez can act and - more surprisingly - this movie gives
her the material to do it.
She plays Sharon, a tough cop but a good cop, scarred since she called the police to stop her father beating up her mother. Her father disowned her, her brother is still mad about it. Mom defends him.
Sharon is growing into a wary, cat-and-mouse relationship with Catch (Jim Caviezel), a man from the shadows who walks the streets in a long overcoat.
This is a cop movie, there is action, and it'll probably be filed on the ÒThrillerÓ shelves. But it is more of a psycho thriller, a story like Lantana of damaged lives.
