The movie stars Michelle Monaghan (Source Code, Unfaithful), Jimmy Bennett (No Ordinary Family tv, Evan Almighty), Nathan Fillion (Castle tv, Water's Edge), Benjamin Bratt (Traffic, Demolition Man), Joey lauren Adams (Michael, Dazed and Confused), Bryce Johnson (Sleeping Dogs Lie, Man Maid), Matthew Lawrence (Mrs. Doubtfire, The Comeback), and Dennis Hayden (One Man Army).
The plot of the movie is Monaghan's life is interupted by the arrival of her 11 year old son. She is a truck driver and not in a positon to intergrate a son into her life.
I dont think I have much to say about the movie. It is well written and well acted. There is a lot left unsaid and the writer/director found a way to make it work well. The movie is understated and that is fine in this case. The fight scene outside the convience store looked awarkard. It looked like it was blocked and just did not ring true to me.
Another scene that did not work for me ws the scene when Monaghan and Bratt talk about setting the plan 10 years ago. I think all the other scenes monaghan's character comes across as smart except this one. The robbery scene was weird. Was is someone she knew or what.
The good scenes far outnumbered the bad ones. For me Lost in Translation was a movie that did not work being understated. This one did for me.
Im rating this movie as a B and its a solid recomendation for me.
