Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Dreadfully Boring
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreMaybe Adrian is great on Entourage, but I don't see why this movie itself isn't getting worse star ratings. This is truly an awful movie, worthy of a midnight run on Lifetime network.The two main characters are definitely very attractive and their acting skills are not terrible. Leila was gorgeous and didn't overdo her character, which was a relief. Adrian's character, however, was utterly unlikeable. Clingy, whiny, codependent, desperate, then violent and completely mentally unstable. I know that was the point of the movie, to showcase this behavior, but no one in their right minds would put up with that kind of partner.Leila seemed so passive for someone who was clearly educated, from a stable family, and independent. She let this stranger (they only knew each other for a short time) knock her up, move in with her, and accepted his proposal in what was probably only several months' time. Ridiculous.I also have many qualms with the way this movie was cut -- the weird "is it a dream, or is it reality" cuts were really tiring, annoying, and frustrating. They were unnecessary, and were used way too much throughout the movie, making it choppy and inconsistent.The therapist character was also incredibly annoying, that that she was completely unemotional and subdued the whole time, even when Adrian's character attempted to murder her. He strangled her to the point of her losing consciousness, and what does she do? Call the cops? No! She follows him back to the couple's home and asks him not to murder his girlfriend, who he's tied up and is ready to kill.The ending was completely absurd, too. I won't give it away, but it is so out there that this whole movie might as well have taken place on a different planet.I watched this movie for a college Psychology class, and the whole class just looked around at each other, saying, "What the hell just happened?" and "This was the worst movie ever." I have to agree. I have never seen such a ridiculous movie before, and it shocks me that it has gotten as many stars as it has on IMDb.
View MoreI really liked this movie a lot. I got it on a whim and I was pleased. I thought the plot was really interesting and the way it was set up engaging.Adrian did a good job of making his character sympathetic so you could really relate to him and wish for a happy ending though you know his past would eventually catch up with him and ruin his future.Arcieri really surprised me because I didn't know she could act so well. Her and Adrian had really great chemistry. It was so believable and made it easy to imagine why they would fall so fast into a relationship with one another.Another thing the movie did well was display that not only did John have his issues, but so did Sarah. Her pastoral family life looked perfect from the outside, but her comments about her own family and her actions, the fact she herself was so needy for love, implied a lonely childhood. For that reason, them both being so needy and desperate for love, they fell for each other and Sarah ignored the warning signs. That and Adrian is just that good looking.I liked the movie a lot though and would recommend.
View MoreI just finished watching this movie and it is really fantastic! I am completely blown away by it. I see many movies and I just loved this one because it kept me involved in it from start to finish. The acting is superb and the dialogue is believable. Adrian Grenier plays a guy who finds love but he has so many problems that he can't handle it. Because of Adrian Grenier's charm, acting ability, and the depth of his well written character, you really sympathize with his character and wish him well. Leila Arcieri does an equally wonderful job as a young woman who thinks she's found the perfect man, only to find out that he's got really big problems when they are both in it over their heads. Both of these roles require a lot of acting talent and Adrian (I love him in entourage!) and Leila deliver big time. If you've ever been in love with someone only to find out that he or she is not the right person for you, then you will love this film.
View MoreI am a fan of Adrian Grenier and really love Entourage so I was excited when I saw this DVD was out. It was so much fun for me to watch him play a part that is nothing like the role he plays on TV. I was really impressed with his acting range. He was amazing in this movie. The movie held my interest in a way that reminds me how much I miss that feeling most of the time when I watch movies. The characters seem to me to be like people I know and I found myself relating to Leila Arcieri's character in a way that almost scared me. I have a feeling that many women looking for Mr. Right and feeling like she will never find him will also connect to this movie. I was never bored and I only wished I could have seen it in the theater because my TV is old and small. I want to tell as many people as I can to see this film because it is enjoyable, and it also makes you think and have a lot of feelings.
