I normally don't like these kinds of films but with the plot twist of the rise of right-wing governments in the future and the extreme solution of killing innocent children and pregnant women, it kind of works-- without giving anything away-and for a change the film is set in Spain - not the USA...

The stunning lead actress// character is forced to fend for herself and her baby when she is the lone survivor trapped in a shipping container in the middle of the ocean--reminiscent of "Castaway " and such, she finds a way to stay alive despite the many obstacles that come her way...

Add a star for the baby if you want to!!

You might be surprised- Benicio Del Toro (did I even spell his name correctly?) plays a straight-laced cop in a corrupt department- that's all I can say about that without spoiling- have fun trying to figure out who the villains are- I am sorry to say that I got it wrong several times-Alicia Silverstone looks kind of frumpy despite her fashionable wardrobe; Justin Timberlake is a snake in this film, a far cry from most of his previous roles ; the rest of the cast is pretty much okay...

Add a star if you love crime drama; detract a star if you don't...or is that backward? I'm obviously tired right now lol so I'm going to sleep.

Cannot believe it took me so long to watch this film. Why was I afraid? I'm not sure. But I am glad that I finally found the courage to watch Hilarious at times (and very VERY cheesy) , the story is as ludicrous as the acting, but there is something so charming about it that I felt compelled to rate it a seven out of ten stars. Obviously made on a shoestring budget, the film is creative and fun to watch... if only to ridicule the scenes. We laughed so hard that we thought we were going to get sick highly recommended for the retro value of : rotary telephones, cool fashion, make-out alley, "beer" brand of beer, etc.
