I think the most effective element of the movie has to do with Christina Ricci's essential emotional manipulation of Charlize Theron. The terrible part comes when the filmmakers paint most of the other relevant characters of the movie with broad, unrevealing strokes, giving the sense that in a story about a serial killer, everyone is just a stereotype of the society that has driven this woman to kill.
