Editorial Review:
FBI agent Matt Benson (HARVEY KEITEL) is sent to the beautiful Sicilian coast to investigate who killed a Mafia informant and most of his family... everyone except the man's eleven-year-old son, Ettore. In an effort to protect him and get the reluctant orphan to reveal the identity of the murderers, Benson brings Ettore to stay at the villa where he is living with his wife (ANDIE MacDOWELL) and daughter. But the Mafia is determined to kidnap Ettore and finish their deadly job of revenge. With all their lives in constant danger, Benson must act quickly to solve the crime before it is too late. Unexpected twists, psychological tension and a maze of lies keep this electrifying thriller a surprise right to the very end.
Ginostra Reviews:
I liked this movie..... 
2008-09-23 - .... but then I'm a huge Harvey Keitel fan! This was one of the better ones in my opinion.
Great cast....but that's it. 
2007-08-29 - This should have and could have been a 90 minute thriller. Instead we have 139 minutes of convoluted nonsense.
Bad editing all around.
A plot that cries for more viable dialogue.
Characters that yearn and require deeper understanding.
Erratic cinematography.
At the end of it you kind of know what happened but you don't really care.
That's the responsibility of the director. To make his audience relate and involve their emotions. It never happens.
A truly great cast headed by the wonderful Harvey Keitel who can't save this one.
Even the credits are bizarre.
A waste of time.
Volcano eruption of corruption!
2007-08-20 - Great, elegant crime thriller set in Sicilian Islands. Harvey Keitel rules as a New York cop sent to Itally and trying NOT to fall under the spell of the corrupt life there.
