Read all the reviews and thought I found a winner....not so.. pathetic attempt at a good movie...don't know who wrote the other glowing reviews but I don't want to meet them as they were responsible for me wasting 20 minutes of my time before I cut the cord.

I see this movie as total failure. Unlike 21 grams, where director managed to personify characters from Arriaga screenplay onto the big screen, here entire story is inconsistent, incoherent, slow and finally doesn't hold the attention. I caught up myself forwarding couple of times. Secondly, non-linear story could be interesting ones or twice, but making a trade-mark of it is a recipe to disaster. I felt annoyed going rewind and forward to pick up the pieces. Kim Besinger's role is similar as in "even money" - pale, inept. Charlize Theron's role is of schizophrenic mode - you can hardly assemble all that attitude in one person. Mexican casts alongside with Sex and the city guy John Corbett are totally plain.

The messy back-and-forth in time action is not the worst problem of this production. There is some intensity which could make this a not-too-bad movie anyway. The actors are not to blame either. On first impression the plot is about love, more or less. But there is a hidden agenda here: both blond women (mom and daughter) are presented as whores. On top of that, the blond mother is also Christian, praying every evening. But of course a hypocrite, since she is committing adultery. The Christian white dad (who fathered 4 children) is actually an impotent male... Enough, I'll never watch anything else made by this Arriaga guy.

Awful mistake of a film. Anybody can put together a series of miserable moments that doesn't make a film, if I pay 10 Dlls to go to see a film I want to be at least find that a human made an effort to build characters with soul, this film has no soul whatsoever. The film portrays lost and miserable human beings, completely lame individuals, I would rather watch my dog playing that spend 10 minutes with the stupid characters in this films. I was curious because I had liked 21 grams, but this film is worst than anything I have seen. The director Must have tough lets scare the audience with very obscure problems, Dull. Its not scary it's lame. A clear sign that Guillermo Arriaga is nothing with a good director. Please somebody do him a favor and don't let that person direct again.

The movie moves back & forth between multiple timelines. i was finding it a tad dreary & boring until i realized how they are all connected. it probably took me awhile longer than the average person because i'm prone to fast-forward & distraction. then i was like, oh! OH! the story becomes much more intense & morbid & compelling once the connections are revealed. so i guess the moral of the story is that you can't just fast-forward between the jennifer lawrence parts -- you'll definitely miss out. finding movies that aren't suitable for fast-tracked viewing is fairly rare for me, so i hold them in high regard. i wish more writers & directors could figure out how to do that, but then i guess its hard to do, so that's why is doesn't occur very often.

Im not sure what I expected when this popped up on sling, but it wasnt this. Enjoyable movie start to finish. Nice twist at the end and well worth the watch. I dont know that I would watch it again but Im glad I didnt pass it up.

It's hard to describe what a complete waste of time this movie is (unless you're watching it to catch a few glimpses of an unclothed Charlize - in which case you're done within the first minute.). No wonder it hasn't hit the big screen - in one word, it's terrible. If you were you were at a theater, you would be demanding your money back. This movie drifts back and forth and back and forth until you're dizzy trying to figure out who does what and when. Without giving it away, I'll just tell you that you'll be quite upset when you reach the worthless ending. We watched this on Direct TV and can tell you that we should have done laundry instead.

Down to earth and realistic to the point of being bland. Interesting story interestingly presented but without enough power behind. Though It wasn't a chore to sit through unlike other early JLaw films in similar genre.
