Review of Expired (2007) by Ola G — 28 May 2011

Claire Barney (Samantha Morton) is a metermaid in Los Angeles. She is kind, but a bit lonesome and odd. She takes care of her mother, who suffers from a stroke and has lost her speech. One day Claire bumps into parking officer Jay Caswell (Jason Patric). A man with severe anger and frustration issues and on the border of being a sociopath. Eventually the mismatched couple end up in a very disfunctional and turbulent love situation.

Never been a fan of Samantha Morton, but both she and Jason Patric gives fine performances in "Expired". I like how the movie has been shot, with a lot of odd angles and closeups. The disfunctional dynamics between Claire and Jay made me cringe and stress me. Thus, the actors really succeeded to give life to their characters. "Expired" is not too shabby at all.
