Quotes
Jeremy Reins:
I never wanted to do anything to let you down, ever. I know I've done things to hurt you. I've never wanted to in my life. But I hurt you and I'm sorry. I can't- I can't think about those things now. I can't do anything about that now. I can't do anything about it. I'm asking you now to accept me. To accept me for who I am.
Molly Reins:
Of course. Of course, baby. I accept you. I love you. No matter what.
Jeremy Reins:
I love you so much. I love you so much...

I went into see this movie, not having a clue of what to expect. I knew it starred Stephen Dorff, but I've never really been a big fan of his. It opened with Stephen trapped in some sort of box and like his character I had no idea what was going on...and I liked that. I liked that it put me in his shoes. And it continued like that every step of the way. Trying to figure out what the hell was going on. It was like 90 min of the best roller coaster ride...and I didn't want to get off! I was at the edge of my seat from beginning to end. It wasn't full of pyrotechnics and cgi for a change! Great writing and directing! Best move I've seen all year!
