Everything about this movie was pretty good, but nothing was spectacular. This leads me to believe that in a year from now I am going to forget about most of it all together. Still, while I was watching it I enjoyed the movie.

Probably one of the more disappointing movies of the year. For most of the movie I kept waiting for something exciting or interesting to happen. Unfortunately, nothing really does until about 90 minutes in, and then there's only about 10 minutes for the movie to save itself, which it doesn't. Naomi Watts plays probably one of the dumbest characters I've seen in a long time, as she plays a woman who knowingly interjects herself into Mafia activities - all for a baby that literally shows up at the hospital she works at. Viggo Mortensen does a pretty good job, but take out his nude fighting scene and there's nothing that anybody would talk about. Story is fairly unoriginal, characters aren't that interesting, skip this.

You owe it to yourself to watch this film. It's intricate and nuanced with great Cronenberg twists.
