Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

dfcurran I usually do not like multiple character study movies. Most movies without a focal character lose my interest quickly. But this one is astonishingly interesting. I do wish they had done more with Julie Benz as a cop. Benz doesn't really seem to have much to work with here and her character is way underwritten. Barbara Hershey is astonishing as an wife who states her feeling about her situation flawlessly. Elizabeth Mitchell is extremely good too. Dane Cook is very believable--and I have to say I was very surprised when the in the movie his profession was revealed. And it was clear he was good at his profession. And he was a very messed-up individual. So Cook really cooks here. Kali Hawk's character is amusing and also well done. So for the characters alone--which means good writing, this is an excellent movie.

arvawter Coming in to this movie, I thought it was going to be multiple peoples stories that all come together at the climax of the film. This did not happen. Each characters story is very compelling on their own and everyone is loosely connected to each other, but they don't make up one story as a whole. I felt like the movie was building up to the climax of them all impacting the finding the missing girl, but this is not the case. Only about 4 characters, out of a dozen, impact what could be called the climax, and I feel like the 4 that do had the least screen time. Overall, if you get invested into each and every character, the movie maintains interest. I would have rather seen each characters' story as its own short film rather than thrown into this hodgepodge of lives. If you enjoy movies like Crash or a much darker version of that comedy Valentine's Day, then you might like this. PS: Dane Cook gives a surprisingly great performance.

ravenlll i am not a movie critic by any stretch of the imagine - i watch a movie for entertainment. i like a movie to move me in some way - to make me laugh, make me cry ... to make me FEEL something for the characters.this movie did just that. Oscar winning performances? hard to say ... but this movie deserves much more than the 3 stars that it has right now on IMDb.lives crossing paths, zig-zagging and enmeshing one another. everyone has demons. everyone has things inside of them that haunt them. these people have to face theirs - and this is the story of those lives coming to terms and facing the reality of their existence.i rated this movie high because i wanted it to move up in the ratings. this movie would be about an 8 for me. Dane Cook did a great job in this dramatic role, Elizabeth Mitchell is always fantastic .. and the rest of the cast did a great job.it made me cry, smile, cheer and empathize .. and that's enough for me.

mmulla21 An interesting character study set in Los Angeles. Its hard to get past the idea of Dane Cook as a psychoanalyst/psychologist and leading man. However, props to him for going outside of his comfort zone and trying to tackle his role as Ryan. Definitely worth a look to see his attempt at this serious role. The most moving story and interactions in this film involved Drew (Miranda Bailey), Erik (Vincent Ventresca), and Kate (Elizabeth Mitchell). The whole marathon scene was amazing! Maybe a little bit expected for the critically jaded movie audiences, but a moving portrayal of struggle and victory none-the-less. An undeniable triumph. Barbra Hershey fans will enjoy her appearance as she plays a small role as Ryan's (Dane Cook) mom. This film has its moments of entertainment but also lives up to its title. A nihilistic drama that tries to deliver a happy ending; a conflicted movie. Its an existential kidnapping mystery movie with careless affairs thrown in for good measure, and an odd mix of self-loathing that will surprise you.
