It was OK to watch once. I rented it for $1 weeks ago because I usually like Hardy's movies, and based on the so-called professional reviews at the time, which all suggested that it was award winning material. I kept dozing off and having to rewind it. Hard to rewind and figure out where you fell asleep when there's essentially only one scene in the whole movie. Think of this film as the last half of a boring Lifetime movie. Seems like book versus movie material.

I didn't check to see how long this movie actually lasted, but for me it was less than 10 minutes. I don't know how they could call it mystery and suspense, it was more like dull and get to the point already. Which I never really did. Fast forward to each quarter of the film and you'll be much happier for not wasting time to get to the dumb ending. Ho Hum...

Honestly what the f*ck did I just watch?!?! Sure it had it's touching moments but the guy just sits in his car and talks on the phone for the entire movie. I honestly expected a little better from a movie that had such high ratings on rotten tomatoes. Also they talk about this concrete way too much. And I find some of the characters annoying and unrealistic.
