Mena Suvari stars as Brandi, a woman who is involved in a hit & run with a down-on-his-luck man (Stephen Rea), who gets stuck in her windshield and is left to die after she drives home and parks in her garage.in this pitch black comedy (very) loosely based on the sad case of Chante Jawan Mallard, a black druggie who gloated and laughed about the whitey she had hit with her car and was handed a 50 year sentence.
Ignoring the real-life incident and instead choosing to take this film on it's own merits, I found it to be a fairly tense film. The definite highlight of the movie was Rea's acting performance as the ill-fated victim, Suvari was all right as well but her performance struck me a little as being one note. None the less it was well-directed & I enjoyed it (as much as one can 'enjoy' a movie based, albeit loosely on a real tragedy)
Eye Candy: Mena Suvari shows some T&A; Sharlene Royer bares all
My Grade: B
