La veterana Kim Basinger vuelve al cine con este thriller de la debutante Susan Montford, que ha contado con la producción del mexicano Guillermo del Toro. Está filmada con un estilo hiperrealista que recuerda a filmes como Saw, Funny Games o la reciente Los extraños. El principal aliciente de la cinta es que las peripecias del sufriente personaje de Kim Basinger transcurren en tiempo real, como en el clásico Solo ante el peligro y la trepidante serie 24. La intérprete de Cita a ciegas y L.A. Confidential está bien acompañada por actores como Craig Sheffer (El río de la vida) y Lukas Haas, el niño de Único testigo.
