    7.5 / 10

    The film skillfully plays on an audience's emotions, but that's what this sort of movie does, and director John Lee Hancock shows a sure hand when it comes to careful manipulation.

    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Sandra Bullock saves a hysterically manipulative feel-good movie from becoming a total catastrophe. However, not even her impressive performance can hide the fact that this is American propaganda lacking both brains and heart.
