The ending: an important moral lesson.

I always tend to flinch when, in films, someone uses a mobile phone while driving. But the thing that turned the ending (well, the penultimate scene) almost into a farce was the way she is trying to prevent her husband from being killed in a car accident by ringing him up on his mobile while he’s at the wheel... furthermore, to tell him to perform a U turn on a blind hill while holding his mobile in one hand. Pure cinematic art.

So, don’t let anyone tell you that this film didn’t have an important message.

Seriously though, you have to wonder how the coroner’s inquest went.

Coroner: “Mrs Hanson, you witnessed the accident. Can you tell me why your husband performed such a dangerous road manoeuvre – one that was to result in his death?”
Linda Hanson: “Erm... yes. Because I told him to. He didn’t want to, but I told him to trust me.”
Coroner: “And this was just after you’d learned he was having an affair, and that he’d trebled his life insurance?”
Linda Hanson: “Erm... yes.”
