The
relationship goes downhill from the get-go: after some brief
contentment, Sarah becomes pregnant and John is all but mental by this
point. He attempts to make an honest woman of her and propose and
everything he thinks a man should do in such a situation, but it’s all
too late.
After humiliating Sarah in front of her family and
friends, degrading her sexually and suffocating her (figuratively, of
course) she soon reveals that she has aborted the baby and wants to
leave the 'slowly-turning-insane' John, who is convinced that his
doctor and former fiancée have joined forces in a conspiracy to drive
him mad.
A-Grade Hollywood fodder.... in the wrong hands.
The
saddest thing about this film wasn’t the plot at all. The plot had the
potential to be something great, and ended something mediocre and
hackneyed, though not eye-gougingly repulsive. The heartbreaking part
was that it could’ve been so much more than it was. I never cared about
the characters; even the supposed freakish twist seemed forced and
stale. It was like watching a high school play of a blockbuster film.
Adrian
Grenier was less than breathtaking in this film; I had only ever seen
him in teen-romances so I expected this to be his moment of greatness,
a notion that turned into sour regret after watching the stolid
portrayal of a madman.
I guess you’d have to watch it for
yourself, maybe chuck it on one day when you need to get one more video
to make up the deal at the Blockbuster and judge for yourself.
EXTRAS
Nothing to impressive. A failry bland behind the scenes featurrerte, a few trailer and of course - a phot gallery.
But we aren't here for the extras... but a few decent ones would have been nice though.
Conclusion:
Movie 65% Extras: 50%
