5 This is a remarkable story. I think the film lets them down. It finds the shortest possible route between beginning and end.

5 ...plays like a passable two-hour prime-time TV movie.

5 ...this debut theatrical feature for CBS Films feels like it belongs on Lifetime instead.

4 ...about as tailored-for-television as a movie can get without containing actual commercial breaks.

Rob Nelson
5 ...doesn't reach far beyond its smallscreen genotype as a disease-of-the-week telepic, despite the star power of Brendan Fraser as the desperate dad and Harrison Ford as an eccentric, ornery researcher.
