Where do I apply to get the 90 minutes of my life back?Reviewed by Matthew Solovay, 2010-01-26
I also saw this movie on a whim, knowing nothing about it. I was neutral (or perhaps even a touch positive) on the cast. The acting itself was fine, I had no major issues with any of the acting or cuts. However the story was unbelievable, had some hideous and cliched twists and turns, and ultimately left me wishing I had done anything other than waste my time on this movie. Save your money and read a book.
Incendiary - Not a good movieReviewed by B. C. Horne, 2009-11-30
The plot itself was a good one, and one that is told almost all the
time, but absolutely predictable. If the writer was trying to
elicit compassion, I'm not sure who it would have been geared
towards. If anger and disgust was to be drawn from the audience, I
believe a small amount of anger would be the word to describe how I
felt about the loose change I spent on this video. I would have
been happier with an expensive cup of coffee.
Disgust would be the description on what a horrible actress
Michelle Williams was. This role was not for her. If people think
it was, then she needed to practice/rehearse it better. Or perhaps
the writer needed to perfect the role made for mother's having
affairs acting slutty with the strange good looking man whore down
the street while her son and husband attended a ball game.
that's it.

The movie was interest. Watching this woman deal with her grief and guilt was a bit strange. I would not watch the second time.
Just Shoot MeReviewed by Jake Jacobsen, 2009-10-11
How do i hate thee? Let me count the ways...
#1 The trailer suggests a movie that is at least action-y. It is
anything but. The story starts in the head, stays in the head, and
ends in the crazy, moronic and infuriatingly morally equivocating
head of the main character.
#2 It made no #@$! sense.
#3 I paid hard-earned money for this excrement-stained
drivel.
#4 I could have spent this time doing something fun and interesting
like clipping my toenails, or perhaps even trimming my cat's
nosehair.
#5 My head hurts. See #s 1-4.
Dear OsamaReviewed by prisrob, 2009-09-01
Dear Osama," "They say that life is what happens when you're busy
making other plans. Do you find that, sitting in your cave with
your Kalashnikov?" Michelle Williams plays a young London woman who
is trying to piece her life together after a tragedy. If ever there
was a one woman show, this is it, even though there are other
actors. I gave this film 4 stars because of her acting.
For some reason this young woman remains married to a man who gives
her little attention. She is beautiful and resilient and keeps
their marriage and their much beloved son together, for what, I can
only imagine. She begins the narrative on this film talking about
her son and she tells us she will explain soon. On a fine day,
husband and son go off the latest Arsenal/Chelsea game. The young
woman meets up with her next door neighbor, they had a one night
affair and again the attraction and they meet and well.... All Hell
has broken loose and a terrorist attack occurs and husband and son
are not coming home.;. Young mum convinces the next door neighbor,
a journalist for a London paper, to take her to the site and in the
middle of this, she is injured. To top this doozy of a film off,
her husband worked for a government anti-terrorist group. His
supervisor tries to take care of the young woman. In the meantime
the young journalist has found information of a government secret.
In and out and about the story goes with no where to settle.
This could have been a wonderful film with more of a story. We have
to fill in too many bits and pieces. Michelle Williams is the story
but that is not enough for this film. I loved the essence of this
film, and what it could have said.
