This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Let's be realistic.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

What's this film is about? A couple of losers where the girl is pregnant wants to con a rich couple where the wife can't conceive. For that, they lure them with the adoption of a baby. The two couples must agree by meeting at the splendid house of the future parents.Then, it's big rubbish! The couples fight each other and their own team! Every one is beaten, locked up, then escapes and start another round! The hitchhiking of the pregnant girl interrupts all this. Maybe there are twists in the plot but i don't have understood it. At the end, maybe the best moment are indeed the road trip as it has flavors of Spielberg's "Duel": a deserted Californian road and a car running! It was good to meet again Leonor: sure, she is convincing as a woman that wants to be a mom at all cost, but, her characters as the others are really dumb! Ah, i was going to forget: the one truth about this movie is that it recalls the power of the riches concerning babies: with all their money, they can easily buy the child of the very poor. Here, the baby is white but nowadays, they "shop" in African or Asiatic countries! Sure, this subject needs a movie but not such one!

As the story begins, we watch a woman that appears to be a bit disoriented, walking with a baby in her arms singing a lullaby. A narrator informs us that it is her baby, but the woman carrying the infant is not really her mother. The action changes to a highway where a young woman, Dina, is seen trying to hitch a ride. A station wagon stops and she enters. The driver, Peter, appears to be a kind man that takes a big chance in giving this woman a ride. Dina begins to warm up to the older man. His demeanor elicits confidence in her, as she begins to tell him her story, that on the surface appears to be something, but is it really what happened? The viewer better pay attention because there are clues along the way that explains the situation.Dina and Ron are white trash lovers. Ron is a petty thief that has not amounted to much. His ambition is to get enough money to buy a boat and sail out of Florida. When Dina becomes pregnant, Ron is upset. Since they have nothing to do legally, they decide to capitalize in an unexpected asset: Dina's baby. The couple realizes there are desperate women that will do everything in their power, and will spend an incredible amount of money in getting a baby by whatever means.Maria, is such a woman. She's a doctor, apparently successful. She and Paul, her husband, live in a dream house. They have bought the model home in a new rich development. Paul is a lawyer and he wants to get Maria the baby she cannot have otherwise after a few trials and miscarriages. When Ron and Dina arrive at their place, they have already figured in their minds what they really want to do with this couple.Paul gets wise to their guests' real intentions. He tries to tell his wife, but she is too intent in buying it from Dina. There are indications early on that the couple is up to no good. Ron gets aggressive, never expecting that Paul is a formidable opponent. Maria, a diabetic, suffers a seizure. After all the fighting, there are only two people standing, Dina and Maria. Being a doctor, Maria figures out a way to get what she really wants, but cannot have otherwise.The premise for this film is deceptive. Director Paul Holohan, who has worked in television, was trying his hand in films. Working with Brooke Purdy's first screenplay, he created a horror drama in which what is real and what is not interplay in the story. We are surprised by Dina's frankness with a total stranger. Not only that, Peter sits in judgment, although his own take on what Dina has been telling him during the trip does not become known until the last part of the story. Then, it makes sense what we saw at the start and what is really happening at the end.Leonor Varela, the Chilean actress, has some good moments as Maria. We did not care much for Miranda Bailey's Dina. Jeffrey Donovan, Waylon Payne, and veteran actor Richard Riehle complete the cast.

This is a movie that slipped under the radar, and now appears to be trying to gain some notoriety because it stars Jeffrey Donovan of the TV series "Burn Notice." I have to admit, it was a selling point for me, although the version I own came from a four-movie set that was sitting in a bargain bin.The story follows a young woman, Dina, who is unexpectedly pregnant and schemes, with her boyfriend, to sell the baby to another couple over the internet and, well, take the money and run. She tells her story to an older man who drives her to an unknown destination and tries to sell her "Jump to Conclusions" mats.Naturally, the plan does not go well, and most of the action takes place in one location--the home of the richer, more successful couple.The acting and action in this movie is actually pretty good for such an obscure find. Jeffrey Donovan is both intense and funny, and despite his natural smugness, he comes off as the most reasonable character.

Jeffrey Donvan headlines in a flashback tale of two poor as dirt drifters who end up with a baby on the way. Hoping to sell the kid for upfront cash before disappearing into the wind they run into a couple with other ideas and a nasty edge.Dark dank and unpleasant neo-noir works in its own dark way. The question is will its sleazy edge click with you or not. The film didn't really click with me and I kind of floundered around as the nastiness happened on screen. Its a not a terrible movie, but I get the feeling that if Jeffrey Donovan wasn't in it this film might have not been released very widely. Some where around five out of ten, you'll have to decide for yourself.
