The ending was a huge let down, however I understood why it ended in the manner it did. All in all a good plot, but the film lacked a constant flow which would have aided the story.Jjjjj7125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-15208296689227253952012-02-25T14:17:04.307-08:002012-02-25T14:17:04.307-08:00Interesting, I was gonna watch this one mainly for...Interesting, I was gonna watch this one mainly for Shannon and Chastain.

I think I liked this one more than you did, and actually felt like the middle sections helped ground the story in terms of competing realities and the ways that protection in one mental state created more danger in the other one. Completely agree about Shannon's excellent performance though!NeverTooEarlyMPhttp://nevertooearlymoviepredictions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-86152415729618146082012-02-25T13:05:03.133-08:002012-02-25T13:05:03.133-08:00There was a point, just before the Lion's club...There was a point, just before the Lion's club scene where I started checking the time, and I very seldom do that.
