This movie is tripe.
No it's worse than three day old tripe. It's flotsam. Mean-spirited and drawn out. The only likable character is the poor neglected 4 year old.
Basinger is well suited to the role because it just requires her to look blankly out at the sea. The characters are so stilted and constipated in their emotions.
Very fake and contrived feeling to this movie.
"Bridges, who carries the film for its entirety, gets absolutely no help from the Academy Award winning Basinger whose hollow character seems more lazily portrayed than it should especially when sharing screen time with novice actor Foster. Their relationship makes about as much sense as a blind man wearing glasses.
With tiresome character development and a strenuous screenplay to get involved in, "The Door in the Floor" quickly becomes a pit of despair."
