MCT:March 16, 2008We first meet insurance investigator ('adjustor') Abe Holt as he listens to his boss Frank (Peter Coyote) explain to a new widow why she will not receive full death benefits because the insurance company took photos of her husband smoking, the apparent cause of his death. Abe just sits in the background but we know he is in tune with the fraudulent activity of the insurance company. Almost immediately he is assigned to a new case: an ex-con with a million dollar life insurance policy has apparently been found dead in a car crash burned beyond recognition. Abe drives to the tiny snowy desolate village where his questions of the townsfolk reveal that the victim was Kelvin Anderson, the brother of Isold (Julia Stiles) who is married to a low life type named Fred (Jeremy Renner), a man who we have seen in flashbacks as the one responsible for arranging the car crash and setting the car on fire. Abe sneaks around the town, spies on Isold, and becomes involved in the investigation in more ways than the honest one. It is the interplay of the three - Abe, Fred, and Isold - that provide the intrigue and mystery of the apparent framed insurance scam. a modern film noir with an excellent cast, a beautiful soundtrack and atmospheric sequences in the rain or snow. Maybe the tone is a bit too sad and nihilistic for the big crowd.

MCT:August 7, 2008*Yawn* Dont waste your time watching this, even though its a short movie. Its just boring and not at all moving or thought provoking. Just blah. Nothing outstanding about this movie, thats for sure.

It's no wonder this was a straight to dvd release. The movie had potential but looses it on the script being overly dry and slow.

MCT:February 24, 2008A good performance from Forest Whitaker, unfortunately that's about it. A dull story which stumbles all over itself sabotages it's own good ending. Too bad.

MCT:January 8, 2008it was...a bit stale at times, and predictable at times too. but Whitaker's voice is something else...i don't know what to think of him doing different voices yet.
