Features: DVD, Widescreen, Dolby, Digital Audio, English, Dolby Digital (5.1), Dolby Surround Sound, Spanish, Subtitled
Eight kidnapped women. All beautiful. All talented. All in danger of having their lives cut cruelly short if police detective Alex Cross and key witness Kate Mctiernan can't locate the elusive "collector" who calls himself Casanova. From the Deep South to the California coast and back, the hunt is on in this provocative race-against-time suspenser based on the best-selling novel by James Patterson. Ashley Judd plays resourceful, strong-willed Mctiernan. She's the lone escapee from Casanova's hidden lair... and determined to rescue the fellow captives she left behind. Morgan Freeman is Cross, a master at solving the unsolvable. But there's more than his reputation at stake: This time one of the victims is his niece in this "taut, riveting thriller" (Fox-TV).
"The craft of the movie is impeccable, the cast is excellent and the plot has all the requisite twists and turns." Susan Lambert, Box Office Magazine
"The film is atmospherically disturbing, with much of the key action set in deep woods where shadows come alive." Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
"As always, Morgan Freeman is his usual brilliant self. What's fascinating is that he makes something that's hard look easy." The Weekly Movie Review
"Ms. Judd, with her dry, no-nonsense intelligence, succeeds in making Kate a complicated, high-strung competitor." Stephen Holden, The New York Times
Editor's Note
North Carolina police detective Dr. Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) tracks an elusive psychopath whose modus operandi is not necessarily killing the young women he abducts but "collecting" them as trophies. Unfortunately, his quarry includes the detective's own law-student niece, so his race against time, with the help of a no-nonsense medical intern Dr. Kate McTiernan (Ashley Judd) who escaped the "collection," is all the more desperate. A spare, by-the-numbers thriller. Based on the series of novels by James Patterson.
