the leading man is my tpye

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.1 is a good ratting. But this is such a great film that 5.1 is underrating it. I give this an 8. It is a great movie. It is very scary. It is scarier then The silences of the lambs could ever be. If this does not scary you no movie. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. See this movie. It is very scary. It is one of the best horror movies I have seen.

The prior reviewer is right about one thing and that is that the lead actress just doesn't carry this off. FYI to that reviewer...she DIDN'T survive. Didn't you notice that the cab driver's name is Peter (as in SAINT PETER) and she for no apparent reason starts telling him all her sins on this ride to no where in particular? Then in the end Peter just says it's "time to go" when all along they've been going no where and in no hurry. She's dead dude and that's supposed to be the big "revelation" at the end as to why "Peter" talks her through her sins and gets her to admit them and feel bad about them so she can enter heaven. Anyway it's pretty corny and let's face it the plot is just downright odd with far too many over reactions by all the characters within the story to be believable. I don't care how much that woman wanted a baby, one look at these people should give anyone pause about whether those are the genes you really want in a child you raise. Hate it, though, because Jeffrey Donovan definitely should get better uses of his skills than this wreck.

Paul Holahan's HINDSIGHT has a unique premise presenting us with the theme of being blinded by one's hidden agendas. When Dina and her boyfriend, Ron decide to sell their unexpected baby to desperate Maria and her husband, Paul, all four of them allow their wants to take over them and lead them to an unethical dark side in themselves. The film had a chance to be a thriller with substance, rather it showcased its theme repeatedly giving the thrilling moments less sting so tonally the film bordered on drama. Cutting back to Dina in the present, her narration and freeze frames made the situations at hand less frightening and less significant. Peter, the driver that picks Dina up in the beginning, states the theme through dialog even though the action in the past works as subtext to show us what the theme is. Further, Dina speaks so casually when she narrates and no one screams when they are victimized (except for when Maria and Paul argue over cutting Dina's belly open). It seems as if the musical cues that lead up to these big moments (like when Paul first attacks Ron) lead up to nothing because the tension is lost when important events happen. After Paul attacks Ron, there is a cut back to the present in which Peter tells Dina she thinks nothing is her fault. Then Dina repeats that statement by narrating that we probably think this is her fault. The attack on Ron should have been the turning point in which everyone turns against each other, but it is downplayed. Foreshadowing should cause tension in a thriller, but foreshadowing is lost when Dina says what is going to happen next. There is good parallel action placing Dina and Ronnie versus Maria and Paul and there is a good arch for each of the characters in which they change when their sight is narrowed in on their desires. The most exciting scene is when Paul taunts Maria to cut open Dina's belly. It put everyone against each other singularly and it revealed character, especially Maria's, using a kind of suspense where one must look away. It then gave reason for Maria's character to choose to do what she did at the end. It is well-written, but the form of the film takes away from the story. The film has depth and is intelligent unlike many thrillers, but the thrill is lost.

Totally violates suspense writing 101. You already know she survives the ordeal in the beginning of the movie.. duh ???And having seen the scenes in the trailer and the poster,, there was NO surprises whatsoever..The actors did okay with the material before them and I could look at Miranda Bailey anytime. (smile)Why is it that almost every movie with a pregnant heroine always seem to fall into a sense of her unavoidable doom. From "Rosemary's Baby" to last year's bloodbath "Inside". Just once I would love to see a different approach. ( I don't count "Cord/Hide and Seek" or "Hush" as I never even bought the premise that the heroine was even pregnant, they acted more like a pillow was stuffed under her shirt") At least in this film, you do feel she is due any second.. Maybe someone will make a movie about a 9 month pregnant Sarah Brady who fought a knife-wielding female maniac for 20 minutes and won. :)
