Closing up a department store without checking the restrooms to see if there's an unconscious James Brolin in one of the stalls? That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. With attack dogs attempting to get at him, there's initially some menacing quality here. He outwits the dogs one by one, but it's hard to believe he never thinks to pick up a phone and call for help. (There wouldn't be a movie if he did, but there's not even a scene where they suggest the phones are dead?) Ultimately, this just drags on too long without ever creating a real sense of terror. Even though she's integral to the resolution, the B-story following his ex-wife feels pointless.
