"Wait Until Dark" for the new millennium, about a woman and her daughter who move into a Manhattan mausoleum the size of San Simeon, where they're terrorized by intruders on the their first night in the house. Suspension of disbelief could be difficult for some, but fans of escapist suspense, eye-catching camerawork, or Jodie in a tank top aren't likely to care about that. The first entry in Foster's unofficial commando trilogy, followed by "Flightplan" three years later and "The Brave One" in 2007.
