Be prepared for an intense story. Very well done and while the ending was not completely unexpected, it was still executed well.

If you are looking for a drama/suspense thriller then this movie is for you! Be ready to cry your eyes out hours after the movie is over! The movie is so real and it really opens your eyes and makes you realize this could happen to anyone. You will re-evaluate your life after this film! Even though it is sad, it is a great movie to watch with a friend or your family. I truely appreciate my friends and family much more after watching this movie.

I thought this was a good movie although I could see how if you didn't get the ending, the movie would make no sense at all. For those of you who thought you did not get the movie, note the movie titled "The life before her eyes." I was watching this with hubby and he pointed that out to me near the end and we both got it! It is worth a rental IMO.

The story tends to drag a little and seem disjointed. However, if you watch this movie all the way through, everything will make sense at the end.

I agree with viewers who are frustrated with the hanging, non-closure ending. When it takes a review or so, albeit spoiler review to clarify an ending, that's a no-go in my book. There has to be a way for these witty directors to conclude these vague, plodding scripts to a successful ending. Thurman's acting has raised a notch since her "Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction" days, much to my relief.

I don't know how these other two idiots can give this movie a four star rating. This movie sucks. It jumps all over the place and even at the very end it still doesn't make a bit of sense. Uma's acting sucked and her character double from her early years doesn't physically resemble her one bit. Do not waste your $5.36 renting this piece of garbage.
