Hindsight

Dina and her Boyfriend Ron( Waylon Payne) are drifters in desperate need of some money. When Dina(Miranda Bailey) learns she is pregnant, she has the idea to sell their baby to a rich couple who is just as in need for a child as they are for cash.

They find Maria and Paul( the corrupt detective from The Changeling), who are a wealthy couple from a gated suburban neighborhood wiling to spend whatever they have to for a child of their own. To finalize the transaction, the couples meet at Maria and Paul's for some get to know you conversation and games. From here, the movie is full of plot twists, betrayals, suspense and action.

The movie started off a little slow for me, but all the surprise plot twists and the ending definitely make it worth the watch!!

This is a very scary movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.1 is a good ratting. But this is such a great film that 5.1 is underrating it. I give this an 8. It is a great movie. It is very scary. It is scarier then The silences of the lambs could ever be. If this does not scary you no movie. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. See this movie. It is very scary. It is one of the best horror movies I have seen.

Dina and Ronnie are a couple that live a carefree life taking what they want from others. They don't pay their rent, they steal cars, and don't seem to care about the consequences. All of their fun comes to a screeching halt when Dina discovers that she is pregnant. They have no way to provide for a child, so they decide to sell their baby to a desperate couple they find online. Paul and Maria live the perfect suburban lifestyle with a brand new model home and expensive cars, but what they really want has always been denied to them. They cannot have children. The action begins when the couples meet for the first time. Immediately it becomes clear that nothing is what it appears to be. Tension builds as ulterior motives are uncovered on both sides of the deal, and what was supposed to be an easy con for Ronnie and Dina spins violently out of control.

The film opens with Dina hitching a ride with Peter, and she recounts her tale through a series of flashbacks. It's a interesting choice for a thriller. If not handled carefully this kind of narrative structure can ruin the momentum of a film, especially one that relies on thrills. However, this film has something more to offer. The best kind of horror film is the one that focuses on social issues or stigmas and turns them around to show us what we are really afraid of. Hindsight is about choice and the consequences of materialism. How much is one baby worth? Or that boat in Florida? How far will you go to get what you want? And why do you want it in the first place? That last question is the most important. It all comes back to morality, and, of course, a nice little twist ending to tie things off.

Technically the film is sound. It has some great thrills, built up by creative use of sound and lighting design. The actors deliver well enough and the plot has enough turns to keep people guessing. There's enough gore to keep the spatter crowd entertained, and some depth for those of us who like to look in to film a little more deeply. All in all, definitely worth your time.

What's this film is about? A couple of losers where the girl is pregnant wants to con a rich couple where the wife can't conceive. For that, they lure them with the adoption of a baby. The two couples must agree by meeting at the splendid house of the future parents.

Then, it's big rubbish! The couples fight each other and their own team! Every one is beaten, locked up, then escapes and start another round! The hitchhiking of the pregnant girl interrupts all this. Maybe there are twists in the plot but i don't have understood it. At the end, maybe the best moment are indeed the road trip as it has flavors of Spielberg's "Duel": a deserted Californian road and a car running! It was good to meet again Leonor: sure, she is convincing as a woman that wants to be a mom at all cost, but, her characters as the others are really dumb! Ah, i was going to forget: the one truth about this movie is that it recalls the power of the riches concerning babies: with all their money, they can easily buy the child of the very poor. Here, the baby is white but nowadays, they "shop" in African or Asiatic countries! Sure, this subject needs a movie but not such one!

Pretty good actually!

Pluses: Smokingly hot Lenor Varela as Maria, Charismatic Jeffery Donovn as Paul, Handsome Waylon Payne as Ron, Long time character favorite Richard Riehle as Peter.

Minuses: Miranda Bailey as Dina.

In nut shell: Dina and Ronnie are vagabond shysters who live out of a stolen truck. Dina gets pregnant from her "seemingly sweet" but shady boyfriend played by the remarkable somewhat new comer Waylon Payne (Jerry Lee Lewis in "Walk the Line"). Thru the internet they find a couple that can't have children. This couple has money. Lots of money. Here the drama unfolds. They plan to sell the baby to the rich couple but have "ulterior motives".

The film is actually very clever. Lots of plot twists. Lots of thrills. Everyone in this film does a great job. My only problem was Miranda Bailey. She is JUST NOT a LEADING LADY. Unless you just happen to run the production company Ambush Entertainment that made this film. (Ahh, now it makes sense). She is a fine actor. No problems in that department but in comparison to the top notch performances of those performing next to her she makes this look more like a student film rather than the low budget film festival circuit independent that it is. She is not a leading lady. Sorry no offense. It got pretty creepy at the end!! But I don't know how Dina would have survived what Maria did to her so I was a bit confused? But "A for effort". It's certainly better than any film I've ever made.
