  • Drama / Thriller
  • Plot Outline
  • A woman, plastered in blood, is arrested by a grave, and a tale of loss, lust and jealousy slowly unfolds.
  • Comment:
  • Christpher Eccleston from Cracker. The story starts with Maria carrying a bag dripping blood with a lot of blood stain on her clothes.
    From the beginning, we can easily guess what happened to her and it seems a part of someone's  body is in the bag though, actually it's not like that. There are some twists and in the end of the story you'll find out what exactly happened to her and the other people.
    I didn't know this story at all and I expected to see Matthew Rhys a lot, but he was a dead son, so a little.

    I think this is a very dark story. I just wanted to see this because of Matthew Rhys is in it. I couldn't get their conversation because of their accent in some of the part though, it wasn't matter.

  • Comment
    The story is probably a happy end.   Since I watched this without any subtitles, I probably missed something though, the end of this film, they (Sam and Lucy) were looked happy,  so I guess it ended happily.
    Talking about casting,  Dakota Fanning was acting very well, of course, I think Sean Penn's acting was super brilliant. Michelle Pfeiffer is not my cup of tea though.   And a foster mother was familiar for me, so I checked it up and found that she was in Jurassic Park. Anyway it is a good film.
