CommentsXp Best movie ever!
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
ashgameover This movie was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. The cast is excellent in this film. This film is very emotional. While I didn't necessarily like the way things may have turned out in the film in terms of the ending, it definitely left food for thought. There was an excellent use of foreshadowing in the writing, and all in all it really exposed a decent part of the human condition. My favorite actor, Costas Mandylor did an amazing job of playing a paralyzed cop and I believe this film showcased his versatile acting skills. I also liked his character as a whole because ultimately the character had a great sense of integrity and throughout the film the character also had genuine humanity. The rest of the actors as a whole also did an excellent job so I give props to the actors, the director, and the casting director on that one. Once again this film is very emotional, and I would even say it sent me on an emotional roller coaster. There were times of happiness in the film, as well as wonderment, drama, sadness, anger, and laughter. A really decent film for a TV movie, and one I would enjoy watching again.
coachem This is one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen, mainly because of the ending. Even though there were a lot of weak spots in the movie, I still had some hopes that it could be saved with a good ending. Even though the best friend's comments early in the movie made it clear what his feelings were, the plot allowed him to realize them through his own misdeeds. The husband's choice at the end made absolutely no sense. There were so many options that were available to him, and his choice was the least palatable. The final shot of the movie was the last straw, and had me shouting obscenities that I had wasted my time watching this movie. I watched it this morning on a cable network and I feel very disappointed that I allowed this movie to ruin my whole day.
francineamick hi, Will someone please explain to me what happened at the end of the movie? I heard gunshots and then saw the husband walk and then there was the best friend with the wife!!!!!!!!!! Did I miss something? Thanks so much for not LOL (if you aren't) This is my first time that I used this website, and it seems like all the information that I would need to get "inside" the movie is all right in front of me and I will indeed lead my "movie buff" friends to your website so they can find out on their own what a informative and exciting and fresh website that I did not know was available until today. Who would ever think that with a click on my computer that I could go all the back in time to get the information about a movie that no one knew was even made. Thank you very much for taking the time for all us movie lovers whether old or new. It really is a treat. Fran
F1ame Incase you don't know what is about, then it is about a married couple and their best friend. It is not a love triangle as such, but a drama of emotions, played out to the setting of injuries, police officers and ice hockey.The film is good in part and poor at times. The anger I feel when people behave irrationally, but you have to convince yourself that people may react in that way. Still I will not point out exactly which bits I am referring to, you can enjoy that for yourself.At the half hour point I was beginning to get quite annoyed with this film, but it did improve near to the end. I did find that some emotional content that was enjoyable to watch play out. Many people will find this movie dull and uninteresting. This is by no means brilliant or ground breaking, but it does have value if you ask me. 5/10... ooh I'm harsh.
