Goofs

On the jetty, the union representative offers Kathryn some donut holes from a box that is clearly labeled "Timbits" (meaning they came from the Canadian chain Tim Hortons). Although there are a few Tim Hortons locations in the USA, none is in Boston where the scene is supposedly set. See more »

Christine Lahti excels here....
31 January 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

in the title role of a pilot's wife who must contend with his sudden mysterious death overseas. His plane went down, and she is besieged by officials and airline PR executives, all anxious to learn the truth, for their own varied interests. Campbell Scott is also very good as airline company man who follows Lahti to London. She hopes to clear her husband's name, but what she finds there only creates even greater turmoil.

Without giving away the twist, suffice to say her family in Massachusetts, her daughter, and her perceptions that her marriage was a happy one are challenged, and met with adversity. She handles this at first, incredulously (an amazingly underplayed performance by Lahti, reflecting shock and betrayal).

Written by Anita Shreve, the story takes the twist of the storyteller, (in this case Lahti) and her own personal story. She does not care about terrorism or what the peripheral facts of the case were. She lost her husband, and the facade she thought was her family. 8/10.
