Review of Reservation Road (2007) by Rob R — 18 Apr 2009

Such a strong premise, but what a weak delivery. there was no chemistry between the cast, Phoenix couldn't have been more miscast, and the plot oversights couldn't have been bigger. for such an intensely tragic event there is virtually no emotional expression, and what little there is comes across melodramatic.

not a particularly strong film for its own merits or as a vanity piece for any of the cast members.
