This film manages to be quite entertaining, the cast is decent at acting, the main couple is really good looking, the drama scenes are good.. but it could have been more innovative. You know, you see bunch of things you've already seen in lots of other movies. It seems like they're repeating the same old story over and over.
I'm being generous by giving it a 7; for an indie non-US movie, "The Clinic" is satisfying and worth a watch, even thought the ending could have been a thousand times better.
And I have never heard about James Rabbitts, but his directing here is fine and much similar to a Hollywood one.
