Must See Movie...
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
An attractive small town nurse is raped in her house after she is confused about her blind date. Then, the story turns about her struggle with the trauma and loses its initial tempo. The plot also gets incredulous in this part. The end comes with a predictable twist. Good acting from R. Pike and N. Nolte while S. Fernandez's acting seems a bit theatrical with his smirky face all along as if to remind us that he's the bad guy who never gets rehabilitated. All in all, a decent but forgettable project.
They could have done something better with the subject, but instead, they made a very predictable film. I had the feeling that something was missing through the whole film. It's one of those that you easily forget, there is nothing memorable. Probably the only good things were the performance by Nick Nolte and Rosamund Pike.
And the Oscar for the worst sound recording/editing goes to... this incomprehensible mess.Why the distorted whispering that is completely unintelligible? Why didn't they re-process or re-shoot the scenes in the jail when they are mumbling in whispers on the telephones? Does the director actually think people can understand what they are saying? It's not like we viewers have a script to follow. This film needs subtitles in 70% of the scenes.As for the plot, well, if only Ms. Pike had shown a bit more flesh it might have been worth watching, but as it is, it is a complete waste of time.Sorry Ms Pike, you were wasted on this.
I was enjoying the movie quite a bit to be honest. Even after the weird stuff with her letting him work on her house, I was like...this is going to be good! WRONG!!!! The scene with him on the gurney was a bust. There's blood on his wrist area and she said something that lead me to believe she cut off his hand. Then he looks under the blanket and I am assuming she cut off his manhood. Somewhere in all this she tells the guy that she killed her dads dog which was how she figured out how much poison she would need for him. Then when he tells her not to leave him to die she tells the guy "I let my mom die...." So by the end of it all, I really didn't care that she was raped because she seemed like a dang psycho who was waiting for something to set her off; I found myself kind of angry about it because it almost was written so one wouldn't feel bad for this woman having been raped. And when she was talking to her dad and the screen went black, I thought it was going to into a 1 month later kind of thing, but no it just ended. Boo!!
