Jessica Stewart

The tension keeps building and it comes off as a really expensive Twilight Zone episode. There's no real pay off or clarification as to what is happening and the audience is meant to be just as in the dark as the characters. I agree with some of this starting happening, especially the beach scene at the beginning, I'd probably head home quickly. Oddly placed long dialogue scenes muddle the pace. Interesting soundtrack and camera shots, good cast, but keeping the audience tense for over 2 hours with little payoff seems like a cop-out. Worth watching, but I doubt rewatching ever again.

Great everything except the actual story. We're to believe a pill addict (since 5...I think) and heavy drinker....can suddenly toss both aside without every showing any withdrawal??? That's was the most unbelievable part of the story. Oh, I've taken pills all my life and then I flush them down the toilet right before the greatest match of (her) life.. and she's fine???? 10 for style....1 for character development.....and her friend randomly showing up at the end to give her money....this is just very plot driven without logical reasoning or consequences about any one's actions. I watched it all because of its technical merits and the lead is good....but how many times can you place your hands under your chin and look at an opponent? It's as if they needed the actor's beauty to make you simply go along.
