Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This film was on CTV the other day so I decided to watch it figuring there was nothing else decent on TV at the time and my internet was down.The film had potential it really did. The acting was decent, You really felt sympathy for the mother who had been fired from her job and was trying to look after her handicapped son all while about to fight a bitter custody battle over him with her ex husband. Throughout the film as more things go wrong for her she becomes more aggressive and violent in her behavior until she has a complete meltdown near the end of the film which causes a huge car accident involving the other character a business woman with an unemployed husband and 2 kids struggling to make ends meet.The were several problems I had with this film. For one, there are a couple of instances that I didn't find all the plausible. For one if Diana was armed with gun why didn't she pull it out when the the beth first confronted her and start destroying her vehicle? The very sight of the gun would have been enough to get her to stop. Why did she wait until after the car accident already happened? Beth's car breaks down and Diana speeds off after the incident, yet she is able to get her car to start again and catch up to her? Not likely. The child doesn't seem all the broken up after hearing that his mother has just died.The other problem I had was just the shear abruptness of how the film ended. The conclusion was less than satisfying. It was as if the writers literally ran out of ideas and just had the film end with Beth dying and her child living happily ever after with his father and stepmother they drive off into the sunset as if nothing happened. The father even has a smile on his face. I would think he would at least be more saddened by the fact that the mother of his child is dead. Diana loses her leg, but really I felt no such visceral reaction to that. It was a numbing experience. This film could have been so much more if they had more competent writers but hey what do you expect from a TV movie.

This is a must see film all about road rage and the causes and sometimes dire results. We read about these in the papers but this movie really spells it out. Much more suspenseful than CRASH. The two ladies in the leading roles couldn't have been better choices. Both Kathleen Robertson and Andrea Roth are spellbinding. They are superb and yet only play the final scene together and that is brief. Rounding out an excellent cast are Ben Bass as Robertson's hubby and Linden Ashby as the husband to Miss Roth.You find yourself deeply involved with their personal and professional lives. And you care for both of them. The entire movie keeps you in your seat until it ultimately ends in the final crash scene. I was thoroughly taken with this. I also liked the young boy, Noah Bernett, who played the son to Robertson in a wheel chair.There's plenty of dramatic moments and even some comedic moments, Robertson chasing the delivery boy through the park. But mainly it's a lesson for all of us to learn about road rage. You must see this. Thanks also goes to the writing by Russ Cochrane and superb direction by John Fawcett. Bravo.

They don't tell you this in the plot outline but early into this movie you realize that Murphy, of the ill-famed 'Murphy's Laws,' apparently has written himself into this script :^). As you're watching this movie, it will slowly reel you in. By the time you're 3/4 into it, you'll find yourself amazed, thinking just how good it is. But, by then, you're just scratching the surface of where this movie is going to take you. And by the end, you'll be glad that you decided to invest the time to watch it. This movie leaves you feeling. And, most importantly, you'll learn something about life and yourself from the experience because, during the movie, you'll be constantly comparing your life to the ones you're witnessing on the screen. And I bet, you'll see a bit of yourself there sometimes. This movie makes you profoundly think about a lot of things. Kudos to the director.

On the surface this is a low-budget made-for-TV movie but I found myself sinking into it more and more and more until my entire body was tensing and my hands clenching. When a story comes along which compels you to THINK after it is finished, it is a gem. This was by no means an air-tight written story but the CHARACTERS were real and their lives were real. Based on a '24' real-time type script, the movie follows one day in the lives of two completely unrelated women. Their only connection is a horrific accident involving the two of them resulting from road rage at the end of it. The movie begins at the end, in effect, and gives us the details of that day gradually. The camera occasionally shows us the time during the flashbacks, on an office wall or a car dashboard. It is filmed in a real-life, over-the-shoulder, CNN type mode which makes you feel like you are walking into the conference room with Andrea Roth's Diana Burke or sitting at a table in a restaurant with Kathleen Roberston's Beth Welland. And all the while, the anger and despair of these women slowly builds to that exploding point.The movie is very much an indictment of our dog-eat-dog society as well. Even though these women live in the bustle of the city they are ALONE and it is a shock to you to realize that the human being next to you on the highway or passing you in the hallway could be living a life like these two women. The movie ends with one of them surviving and the other passing away and you, having entered into their lives, are left to process what decisions and actions and circumstances brought them to that fateful moment. That's all. And you will, if you see the movie.There are two very powerful scenes in this movie which I want to mention. Kathleen Robertson's performance here I will not soon forget. There is a scene in the restaurant just before the cake arrives during her son's birthday party - and while the son has been invited to the kitchen by the chef - where Beth has been informed by her ex that his lawyer feels they have a strong case for full custody of their son. She has just lost her job and has nothing while he and his new girlfriend have just bought a nice house in the burbs. He mentions it casually like it was of little consequence but when the son returns the camera is only on Kathleen's face. For a full minute all of the noise in the place filters out and you are left with seeing the poison come into her eyes in complete silence. I have not seen or felt a more authentic, human scene in a film. The other was at the end - and this is the real spoiler - as the doctors inform those at the hospital of Beth's death. Once again the camera is only on one person - her son - and when the moment comes his entire body wilts and his eyes become vacant. You realize that he is the only one who will miss her. I was left gasping as I saw it.For anyone who is looking for a real human story here is one for you.
