It might not leave you spellbound but you're likely to be charmed.

Manages to include a whole stack of annoying cliches, stereotypes and habits that it could well do without.

It's not a classic. Not yet.

Very little of this makes sense and none of it is scary.

Costner is running on empty.

When the daughter of the richest man in town is dragged from the bottom of a muddy pond because of the psychic's premonition, you know this can be no ordinary thriller.

An uneven mix of kiddie whimsy and intense fantasy.

Tension leaks over the floor, like blood, until the denouement, which throws everything into the air.

The 12-certificate seems severe. This is a kids movie if ever there was one.

The effects are eye-popping and the look of the film is exquisite.

Whooshing between buildings at high speed over and over again feels like an overdose of Ritalin. The three-way baddie climax is nauseating, unexciting and full of contrivances.
