This is an adaptation of the Greg Rucka graphic novel. The adapted script, by Chad & Carey Hayes (or Erich and Jon Hoeber, depending on who you ask — WTF?!) is a great example of a closed door thriller (takes place in a locked environment, w/out the possibility of escape. Alien is probably the most famous example of this.) Trailer looks pretty good, and I'm a sucker for Kate Beckinsale. She's one of the very few female actresses who can manage to be beautiful and beleivably bad-ass. (Weaver, Jolie and Garner are the only others who immediately come to mind) If this movie is as good as I think it's going to be, the studio is going to have a franchise character on it's hands. Carrie Stetko will be the Clarice Starling of the 21st century. You heard it here first.
