There is one line in the film in which the mother described how the Acton family was residing in a tent. The filmmakers may have unintentionally stumbled on an important theme about social class in America. Ving Rhames is also good in the role of the police detective. But the tension is sustained especially well by the mother character played by Pamela Reed. On the surface, the film was written as a "whodunnit."
