If they were better, Bill Pullman, Natasha McElhone and Michael Massee, it would have been a very good mini-series. Basically every actors and actresses did too much 'acting' they shouldn't have. I am convinced it wasn't their mistake, rather the director's. An intriguing story spoiled by overacting. Somehow, everyone in the story is too much. Natasha with her big eyes all the time, Bill with his fairly inappropriate 'don't give a damn' half-smiles, Michael with his way too much enjoyment of being the bad guy.
And that's why I said bad directing. These actors are first class, all of them, yet in the story they are like cartoon figures. Darkness and deep emotions are badly missing.
Good story wrongly executed.
