It stars Sally Field, Kiefer Sutherland, Ed Harris, Beverly D'Angelo, Joe Mantegna and Cynthia Rothrock.

Detective Joe Denillo assures the McCanns there is enough DNA evidence to find and convict the killer, and encourages Karen to seek counselling.

At a support group, Karen meets other people who have suffered child bereavement, including Albert and Regina Gratz, and Sidney Hughes.

She joins a self-defense class, which increases her confidence, helps rekindle her sex life with Mack, and improves her relationship with Megan.

However, after Karen receives a revolver from Sidney, Angel confesses that she is an undercover FBI agent investigating vigilante activity within the support group, and warns her not to go through with the hit.

While Mack intends to take the family on vacation, Karen deliberately orchestrates a work emergency as an alibi that forces her to stay behind, telling him and Megan to go on ahead of her.

At the same time, Mack and Megan return home, having also caught on to Karen's plan, and see the police taking away Doob's dead body.

[4] Roger Ebert gave the film one star (out of four), calling it "a particularly nasty little example of audience manipulation" and writing that it "is intellectually corrupt because it deliberately avoids dealing with the issues it raises."
