A decently clever kidnap scheme -- it came off like clockwork four times before -- goes haywire when Charlize Theron, her anesthesiologist husband, and her asthmatic daughter deviate disobediently from the script. (Her hiding a scalpel between her hind cheeks, then holding the blade to Kevin Bacon's penis, had not been part of the planned rape scene.) Bullishly directed by Luis Mandoki; badly acted by one and all -- worst by Courtney Love. With Stuart Townsend and Pruitt Taylor Vince. (2002) — Duncan Shepherd
