paul holahan hindsight have a unique premise present u with the theme of be blind by one hidden agenda . when dina and her boyfriend and ron decide to sell their unexpected baby to desperate maria and her husband and paul and all four of them allow their want to take over them and lead them to an unethical dark side in themselves . the film have a chance to be a thriller with substance and rather it showcased it theme repeatedly give the thrill moment less sting so tonally the film border on drama . cut back to dina in the present and her narration and freeze frame make the situation at hand less frightening and less significant . peter and the driver that pick dina up in the beginning and state the theme through dialog even though the action in the past work a subtext to show u what the theme be . far and dina speaks so casually when she narrate and no one scream when they be victimize ( except for when maria and paul argue over cut dina belly open ) . it seem a if the musical cue that lead up to these big moment ( like when paul first attack ron ) lead up to nothing because the tension be lose when important event happen . after paul attack ron and there be a cut back to the present in which peter tell dina she think nothing be her fault . then dina repeat that statement by narrate that we probably think this be her fault . the attack on ron should have be the turn point in which everyone turn against each other and but it be downplay . foreshadow should cause tension in a thriller and but foreshadow be lose when dina say what be go to happen next . there be good parallel action place dina and ronnie versus maria and paul and there be a good arch for each of the character in which they change when their sight be narrow in on their desire . the most exciting scene be when paul taunt maria to cut open dina belly . it put everyone against each other singularly and it reveal character and especially maria and use a kind of suspense where one must look away . it then give reason for maria character to choose to do what she do at the end . it be well write and but the form of the film take away from the story . the film have depth and be intelligent unlike many thriller and but the thrill be lose .
