painfully slow and ultradramatic
2 April 2008
After a boy gets hit by a car near a gas station, the freaked out driver drives on to spend the rest of his days in bitter remorse. The boy's parents are of course devastated and struggle, each in their own way, to deal with their loss. Dad becomes obsessed with finding 'the killer' while mom finds a way to deal with life raising her young daughter. Will dad find out who hit his son?...the question is..do we still care after 30 minutes?

2 hours of the most ridiculous melodrama with no end in sight which becomes progressingly worse after half way. A hit and run tale is a sad one but surely this doesn't justify bludgeoning the audience with overwrought drama scene after scene after scene. While there is practically no story progression to speak of and no development in the 2 dimensional characters, the leaden script makes every bit of acting feel completely overdone. Any sympathy for the characters? forget it, they are merely cardboard soap-personae who don't exist in the real world and who soon become highly annoying as such.

Cringeworthy at best, this lackluster storytelling-void will be forgotten soon and rightfully so.

Do yourself a favor and see something else.
