Kinda good movie. Terrible soundtrack, 13 October 2007
8/10
Author: wolfley07 from United States

This movie made me like Naomi Watts. I've never appreciated her acting or her as at all in movies, but she is extremely likable in this one. The movie really okay, with not much of an ending. What continually ruined it for me though was the crappy music (and I'm not talking about the awkward dogstar cameo). The soundtrack sounded like it was from The Worst of Seattle Circa 1995. It took me out of the movie every single time that crap started up because all I could think about was what bad taste the music director had. If you're going to shoot all dogmaish, then you should have some great music, ambient music or none at all. And the techno music was just painful.
