The acting


I thought the performances were top-notch, especially from Hope Davis, who I love! A shame Campbell Scott wasn't in it, even for a scene or two, but his direction was assured & even when the twist came into play it wasn't treated in the usual "let's repeat all the hints so you don't have to remember them for yourself" routine!

Yeah, I was surprised. I watched it because Denis Leary was in it and he was really good in it! I want him to do more stuff like this... But, I guess this movie is one of a kind. Though, someone in another post compared it to 12 Monkeys. But I haven't seen that.

Fascinating performances all around, and especially from Mr. Leary and Ms. Davis. It's so depressing I have a hard time watching it. It's a flawed beauty, this movie. I'm sorry to say I must agree with those who say of Campbell Scott that he is dull. He's talented, I can enjoy some of his work, but only if I'm in the mood for something very slow-paced.
