There was really no intrigue in The Glass House which is missing a pretty fundamental step when you're making a mystery/thriller.
Final rating:½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.

Sad drama with Leelee Sobieski and Stellan Skarsgård switches to thriller
A suddenly orphaned teen girl (Leelee Sobieski) & her little brother start a new life in Malibu with their guardians (Stellan Skarsgård & Diane Lane), who might not be the caring friends of their parents they seem to be. Bruce Dern is on hand as a lawyer.
The Glass House (2001) starts as a melancholic drama with the general plot, setting and tone of Poison Ivy (1992), but without the lethal Lolita angle. It eventually morphs into a suspense/thriller à la Enough (2002), just dont expect Leelee to change into Rambo, like J-Lo.
Sobieski as protagonist Ruby is one-dimensionally sullen, which fits the situation, but it gives a lifeless vibe to the procee...
