The film message can be that faith moves mountains . The picture contains excellent special effects when the fantastic forces intervene , courtesy of Digital Backlot Studio (which also made : ¨Master and Commander¨ , ¨Sky Captain and world of tomorrow¨ and ¨Fast and Furious 2¨).

The motion picture was finely directed by Joseph Ruben (Money train , The good son , Stepfather , Dream scape) . The picture will appeal to Julianne Moore fans and mystery/suspense enthusiasts.
