Warning: Spoilers
I taped this movie yesterday on Lifetime then I watched it a couple hours later. A little girl(Daveigh Chase) witnesses a homicide and she freaks out, as expected. A shrink(Kristy Swanson) and a detective(Vincent Spano) try to help the poor girl out. They try to identify the killer. They keep thinking for some reason that it was a random mugging but then they realize all too SLOWLY that the whole thing is part of a bigger conspiracy. The plot is pathetic and predictable.

This is one of those conspiracy theory movies. Of course, I figured it out long before any of the main characters did. Daveigh Chase does a great job as the little girl. It's funny how she does the best job in this thriller. The other actor worth mentioning is Vincent Spano, who played the main detective. Kristy Swanson, however, delivered lines as though she was in a high school play. She barely showed any facial expressions and her voice was pretty monotonous, but it got better. It was so weird seeing this actress play a shrink.

This is a movie that is watchable for some of the acting, but mostly to see if it gets better and presents interesting drama later on. This movie doesn't really do that. I could have explained the ENTIRE plot before the first commercial break.
