This picture merits a serious attention that its shoddy promotional exploitation will not encourage.

Despite predictability and flaws, "Link" is surprisingly good. It's a tight, involving, "Beauty and the Beast" thriller, with more humor and intelligence than you'd guess.

Perhaps, though, Link is a human comedy after all, showing us our not altogether elevated place on the evolutionary chain.

[Shue] is lovely to look at but an incompetent actress and possessed of a nasal voice that is irritating and disrupting.
