Omens and concepts of good vs. evil have no place in Maggie O'Connor's well-ordered, practical universe. Her life revolves around her job as a nurse at a busy New York hospital, until one rainy night, her sister Jenna abandons her newborn, autistic daughter at her home. Maggie takes the baby in, and she becomes the daughter she never had. Six years later Jenna suddenly re-appears with a mysterious new husband, Eric, and abducts Cody. Despite the fact that Maggie has no legal rights to Cody, FBI agent John Travis (Jimmy Smits), an expert in ritual homicide and occult-related crime, takes up her cause when he realizes that Cody shares the same birth date as several other recently missing children. The little girl, it soon becomes clear, is more than simply "special." She manifests extraordinary powers that the forces of evil have waited centuries to control, and her abduction sparks a clash between the soldiers of good and evil that can only be resolved, in the end, by the strength of one small child and the love she inspires in those she touches.

Having read the many comments about this movie by people who seem to either hate or love this movie (mostly upon religious lines), I feel I must comment...

This is at best a mediocre movie with a fascinating and beautiful concept behind it. Not being strongly based in either pro-Christian or pro-Devil worship (""For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." - Hamlet, Act III), I want to comment on the movie itself.

Director Russell is not a good director of actors. He doesn't get the best out of them. Rufus Sewell can be very good if made to dig into himself and perform, here I felt he was just "mailing it in". Kim Basinger is wonderful when reigned in and not allowed to "vamp", here she over-emotes to a fault. The other actors seem to just throw their lines in as an afterthought and the director has left them there to rot.

The special effects are simplistic and not realistic enough to overcome the unintentional comedy of bad effects (try "Plan 9 from Outerspace" for a good laugh sometime). I just couldn't find myself really involved in the outcome of the movie, the climax was much too wooden and staged.

That being said, the concept is delicious. The battle between good and evil and the incarnated child who will lead us to salvation are great themes and are the best reason to see the movie. These alone save what could have been a magnificent movie. Too bad such a good story was put into the hands of such a hack director.
