Was impressed by the acting of the woman who played Maggie, she injected the proper amount of terror, anguish and also compassion into the role.
This film gave me a very bad nightmare, it is chilling in a few scenes.
Arnie was good but the film isn't a star vehicle, it's an unusual and unsettling film about love and mortality that creeps up on you.
yeah I would agree with most everything you said. I was actually quite impressed with Arnold in this movie, but that may just be me. the movie as a whole though, it's hard to pinpoint. I put it at just above average. it is worth seeing to the end, but the story isn't all that strong and the characters aren't fleshed out enough for it to be a good character piece either. it's a good one time watch though to for the atmosphere and the acting.
shareI thought Arnold was brilliant in this and I'm not really a fan of his... absolutely loved this film - top ten of the year so far...
shareI have to agree. This little piece of melancholy, hit me like a brick to the face. Intimate and sad, it was a rare beauty of a film.
shareI think this and Escape Plan are possibly his two best performances, but this was definitely the most 'real' he's ever been in a film.
shareIn a DVD commentary Arnold says that people came up to him after screenings and said it was the most "human" character he's played - and he wasn't offended, he completely agreed.
I do, as well; I thought he was amazing. At times Wade's pain was hard to watch.
I've just watched this and really enjoyed it. Yes I agree it's a one time watch sort of film.
Kudos to Arnold for a solid performance, he was very good. Also of course to the girl who played Maggie, she was excellent. Really good make-up as well.
Good film, very well made. Glad I saw it.
Sorry but it was a bore fest , Annie was one noted , there wasn't much drama or that many emotional scenes, maybe a stronger score would of helped because it was very weak, the ending was also an anticlimax , I was so bored with the movie that each scene I was busy thinking what could of been improved in it to make it better.. Cudos for arnie for giving it ago but he didn't really deliver..
