Plot summary

Stephanie, a restless and vibrant actress, meets Gerard, an NYPD counter-terrorism specialist who’s an aficionado of experimental theater (and maybe out of his mind). Flirtation ensues, ends disastrously, and forces Stephanie to the ramshackle home of musician Eleanor Friedberger, a supposed escape infected by violent memories of her past life.

Starts out promisingly, then gets lost

Slower Movie

DVD lacked subtitles for the elderly, disabled, hearing impaired, and ESL viewers. Disrespectful & cheap on the part of the producers & distributor (Grasshopper Films should hop into a different field) especially when audio & enunciation were so poor. Film quality was also really bad (very grainy). Add acting to that list. Story follows (a few streets & locations in N. Y.) a struggling actress who meets an off duty government CIA type agent whose presence seems pointless. Filming is mostly talking heads.1. I'm at nearly half "Your Review" box & still need another 150 characters (assuming a space is not a character).2. Why add time wasting as a desirable trait both for the writer & for the reader?3. You are forcing reviews to approach the "spoiler" stage.4. Why reward prolonged, excessive wordiness when succinctness of thought is the desired trait. (We're not 19th century Russian writers with nothing else to do with our lives. Outside of Vodka, of course.) 5. Most importantly many movies are simply not worth the words (i.e. Time).6. More is the desired goal? Sounds a lot like American consumerism. You're not a true American contributor unless you buy more & bigger. A true indicator of value is more?7. To sum up (Am I at 600 yet?) I'm very disappointed.
