    A woman recounts the story of how she and her boyfriend attempt to simultaneously remedy their financial troubles and an undesired pregnancy

    This film has very well-written script. The characters are nicely-paralleled, simultaneously mirroring one another in their fundamental psychological struggles and diverging in their drives, desires, and ideals. The whole storyline is a psychotic eruption of social inadequacies combined with the ever-present question of whether or not our actions are to be judged by an absolute morality.

    With regards to character development, the script may have been better carried by stronger acting -- the internal development was present, but was not sufficiently layered within the characters.

    Overall, the film is sufficiently suspenseful to hold the attention of the audience.

    decent horror/thriller

    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 very scary

    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.

    Not a bad little THRILLER.

    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.

    Pretty Ridiculous

    This movie is cringe-worthy. The characters are unrealistic and none of them are likable. THey are confused characters who are poorly developed. I can't decide if the acting was bad or the characters were just written terribly. I do however like the concept. It has a lot of potential. A movie about a couple wanting to get pregnant to get money for selling the baby and a couple who wants a baby so badly they will do anything for it— even resorting to conning their baby mama. Two couples whose desperation blurs their morals. SOund like an awesome concept that could be turned into an awesome, twisted horror flick. It could be like one of those scary movies that are genuinely good and interesting, with more depth to them than your average scary flick in which the sole purpose is to scare the nuts out of you instead of tell a story. However, this film was executed poorly. While it was clever for the main actress to be looking back at the story, I thought the man she was hitchhiking with was not a big enough apart of the film. He should have been a bigger part or not a part at all. It was awkward. And then there's the ending... which is just makes me feel like watching the film was a waste of time. They were going one way and then went a whole other direction at the end. There is a twist though that is pretty cool if you figure it out!
