In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
A group of friends get together and discuss life. They talk about what they would do if someone did something to their child. Tom's (Tim Schukar) son gets killed by a hit and run driver. His wife (Jennifer Ann Massey) is distraught and never feels like sex anymore. Tom wants to kill the drunk teen, now in jail.Tom has a gift called "mindsight" where he can see into the future a hypothetical scenario of his action. Much of the film is just that, except we don't know it is mindsight until it is over.The acting was lame and so was the dialogue. In one scene they were talking in front of a red brick home and then on close-ups, Eric had white bricks behind him with a weird shadow (mic?) in the scene. Looks like a partial re-shoot in a different location and then edited back in. As Ed would say, "Who would notice?" The whole film felt unrealistic.Guide: F-word. Nudity (Kimberly Hinjosa, Katrina Acevedo?)
