Hindsight (I) (2008)
6/10
Not a bad little THRILLER.
9 September 2008
Pretty good actually!

Pluses: Smokingly hot Lenor Varela as Maria, Charismatic Jeffery Donovn as Paul, Handsome Waylon Payne as Ron, Long time character favorite Richard Riehle as Peter.

Minuses: Miranda Bailey as Dina.

In nut shell: Dina and Ronnie are vagabond shysters who live out of a stolen truck. Dina gets pregnant from her "seemingly sweet" but shady boyfriend played by the remarkable somewhat new comer Waylon Payne (Jerry Lee Lewis in "Walk the Line"). Thru the internet they find a couple that can't have children. This couple has money. Lots of money. Here the drama unfolds. They plan to sell the baby to the rich couple but have "ulterior motives".

The film is actually very clever. Lots of plot twists. Lots of thrills. Everyone in this film does a great job. My only problem was Miranda Bailey. She is JUST NOT a LEADING LADY. Unless you just happen to run the production company Ambush Entertainment that made this film. (Ahh, now it makes sense). She is a fine actor. No problems in that department but in comparison to the top notch performances of those performing next to her she makes this look more like a student film rather than the low budget film festival circuit independent that it is. She is not a leading lady. Sorry no offense. It got pretty creepy at the end!! But I don't know how Dina would have survived what Maria did to her so I was a bit confused? But "A for effort". It's certainly better than any film I've ever made.
