This isn't really a poor story, just underestimated. It would be a great suspense thriller if a little more of a chance was taken to let the audience figure stuff out. Too many clues were dropped, and the twist ending wasn't really that much of a shock.

Kostner is still a fine actor, however his spectrum is fairly limited. In this movie he falls nicely into his narrow comfortable range.

Dragonfly kept moving along nicely, but still seemed a bit long. There were some genuinely tense moments due to lighting, camera positioning and misdirection. If the script did not underestimate the audience, this movie would have been great.
Impact: 7 -
Decent entertainment and worth a watch. But you can't help but leave the theatre thinking "Hasn't this been done better before?"

A point for attempting to follow in The Sixth Sense's footsteps without actually wearing its shoes.
