The Glass House Review
by Eugene Novikov (Rating: B-)
The Glass House is a fun little piece of schlock, a soft thriller with some good ideas and a proactive heroine. Its plot is too obvious to provide any real what-happens-next suspense, but there are still moments here to treasure. And, if after seeing her...more
