Kate Beckinsale with her sarcastic blunt quips does make it fairly enjoyable and the supporting cast is pretty decent. OK for a watch but not one to go out of your way to catch.
Why try to Americanise the location as well? European cars, English street signs and scenes shot on the Southbank and quite a few using the Tate Modern location for the villians pad. A couple of fire hydrants, yellow taxis and a school bus to make it look set in New York seem pointless.

Vanilla has been in an accident. She has woken with no recollection of who she is or has been. She has tried everything so far to try and jog her memory so her family resort to the only thing they have left the center. Maybe she will discover a lot more than herself.
I found this a very interesting story. There were a lot of things happening. I like the way that we, as a reader, go along with the same amnesia that Vanilla has, and that we follow every step that she takes in her discovery to find out who she is. There are a lot of heartaches involved and some of the stuff she finds out is gut-wrenching but it makes it more interesting and gives more motivation to find out what has happened.
I recommend this.
