There was really no intrigue in The Glass House which is missing a pretty fundamental step when you're making a mystery/thriller.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

Sad drama with Leelee Sobieski and Stellan Skarsgård switches to thriller

A suddenly orphaned teen girl (Leelee Sobieski) & her little brother start a new life in Malibu with their guardians (Stellan Skarsgård & Diane Lane), who might not be the caring friends of their parents they seem to be. Bruce Dern is on hand as a lawyer.

“The Glass House” (2001) starts as a melancholic drama with the general plot, setting and tone of “Poison Ivy” (1992), but without the lethal Lolita angle. It eventually morphs into a suspense/thriller à la “Enough” (2002), just don’t expect Leelee to change... read the rest.
