    Reasonable, satisfactory
    A reasonably solid action and suspense film, it has its share of contrived moments and forced situations, along with some implausible elements.

    The performances, however, stand out as particularly commendable. Despite the narrative lacking in spectacular elements, the story holds its ground as engaging. It offers a decent level of entertainment, especially for those inclined towards action and suspense genres.

    While the film occasionally succumbs to forced scenarios and implausibility, it manages to maintain an overall sense of coherence. The strong performances by the cast elevate the viewing experience, compensating for any shortcomings in the plot's extraordinariness. The storyline, although not reaching the heights of spectacularity, presents a compelling narrative that caters well to enthusiasts of action and suspense films. In essence, the movie strikes a balance between its flaws and strengths, offering a satisfactory level of entertainment for its target audience.

    What Girl Scout troop training did they get?
    Allison Janney in the lead role, is awesome! Totally hard core and bad ass! And when she switches to an 'elderly lady' looking for her dog, she totally sells that too! She really made the character of Lou real as heck! And she made the movie totally watchable! Her dead panned humor, and biting one-liners were right on for the tone and strength of her character.

    The other actors are very much overshadowed by Janney's performance (especially the guy that played the sheriff!). And the dog's performance as well! And the gorgeous settings and scenery!

    But, I do think they put a bit too much Toto in it!
