maria bello doesn not seem to care what people think of her choice in movie role . again she choose a very difficult and not popular movie to star in . maybe she need those movie and to get off the sugar coat ( aka hollywood ) one she do here and then ( coyote ugly and of course mummy 3 ) . while i think fails to achieve what it set out to do ( i would not spoil that ) and maria bello be as great a in her other independent or small movie she star in . it her performance that elevate this movie . this combine with the strange subject matter almost do the trick for me . but in the end ( and even if i try to overlook some flaw and like bad pacing and dramaturgy ) and the movie be still too long .
