The movie sure did a great job in maintaining its overall mood of being flat and lonesome. That mood is so much present in the way the movie pictures how the surrounding locations which have few people. The story is uniquely interesting since it can project three different focuses of Kat, Trevor, and then both Kat and Trevor with Danny as the sole link between them. The thing is, the movie's opening sequences only served as attention grabbers and didn't really contribute to the whole story plot whatsoever. Then there's the ending which is surprisingly also flat and didn't offer anything else after the main conflict is resolved. The acting overall is quite nice. Guy Pearce and Cobie Smulders did their homework well in being in characters as personal trainers. Kevin Corrigan on the other hand quite surprised me that he can balance the acting level from Pearce and Smulders.
