    • Trivia
      The film was improvised, with little to no outline of scenes and their direction. The two main actors were given a general outline of scenes and simply interacted with one another and the other cast members, many of whom were not actors. All the shots were improvised as well.
    • Goofs
      Sam can't get on the ferry because Andrew lost her passport, but when he bought the ticket the previous day, the sign said "no passport required."
    • Quotes

      Samantha Wynden: Doesn't that kind of bother you, that you need something bad to happen to profit from it?

      Andrew Kaulder: You mean, like a doctor?

    Bore-fest, sorry
    I just sat through this rental. Barely stayed awake.

    This seemed like the type of sleeper hit that is missed by the masses, but I really enjoy in rental. Boy was I wrong. This movie was just plain boring.

    I knew from a previous review that this movie was not filled with aliens and not filled with special effect. "Cool," I thought, "a movie with a story about people." But nope. There's just not enough story here to keep a viewer awake. The two main characters do enjoy a wee bit of development. But that happens almost immediately - or at least we can see what it is. So the "story" goes nowhere.

    Also, these characters didn't talk enough to each other. The movie too suddenly, too often, and for too long falls back on montages of supposed dialogue, overshadowed by mood music. So their story together just isn't believable.

    Almost an okay movie. But just plain sleepy.
