Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is cringe-worthy. The characters are unrealistic and none of them are likable. THey are confused characters who are poorly developed. I can't decide if the acting was bad or the characters were just written terribly. I do however like the concept. It has a lot of potential. A movie about a couple wanting to get pregnant to get money for selling the baby and a couple who wants a baby so badly they will do anything for it— even resorting to conning their baby mama. Two couples whose desperation blurs their morals. SOund like an awesome concept that could be turned into an awesome, twisted horror flick. It could be like one of those scary movies that are genuinely good and interesting, with more depth to them than your average scary flick in which the sole purpose is to scare the nuts out of you instead of tell a story. However, this film was executed poorly. While it was clever for the main actress to be looking back at the story, I thought the man she was hitchhiking with was not a big enough apart of the film. He should have been a bigger part or not a part at all. It was awkward. And then there's the ending... which is just makes me feel like watching the film was a waste of time. They were going one way and then went a whole other direction at the end. There is a twist though that is pretty cool if you figure it out!

This is a movie that slipped under the radar, and now appears to be trying to gain some notoriety because it stars Jeffrey Donovan of the TV series "Burn Notice." I have to admit, it was a selling point for me, although the version I own came from a four-movie set that was sitting in a bargain bin.The story follows a young woman, Dina, who is unexpectedly pregnant and schemes, with her boyfriend, to sell the baby to another couple over the internet and, well, take the money and run. She tells her story to an older man who drives her to an unknown destination and tries to sell her "Jump to Conclusions" mats.Naturally, the plan does not go well, and most of the action takes place in one location--the home of the richer, more successful couple.The acting and action in this movie is actually pretty good for such an obscure find. Jeffrey Donovan is both intense and funny, and despite his natural smugness, he comes off as the most reasonable character.

Jeffrey Donvan headlines in a flashback tale of two poor as dirt drifters who end up with a baby on the way. Hoping to sell the kid for upfront cash before disappearing into the wind they run into a couple with other ideas and a nasty edge.Dark dank and unpleasant neo-noir works in its own dark way. The question is will its sleazy edge click with you or not. The film didn't really click with me and I kind of floundered around as the nastiness happened on screen. Its a not a terrible movie, but I get the feeling that if Jeffrey Donovan wasn't in it this film might have not been released very widely. Some where around five out of ten, you'll have to decide for yourself.

I watched this movie and totally enjoyed the premise. I have not seen to many movies about pregnant women fighting off the would be baby snatcher. But I was left hanging at the end. No way she could have survived this onslaught to her body without immediate medical help. So flash to what is happening between her and the old guy in car. He picks her up and the story is told to him. He advises her and gives her some guidance as to rationale of both sides involved etc. We never know who he is or where he is taking her. Could the reality of the film be that he is a spiritual envoy taking her soul somewhere because she in actuality died? This is just a thought because otherwise how the heck did she get out of that situation alive. I really deplore movies that have no ending explanation.
