    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!!

    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.

    Very Original

    This movie is about an irresponsible young couple that live in their car with no means of support. When they find out they are expecting, they see their unborn baby as a way to make money. They research many couples on the internet (how do you have internet with no place to live?) and visit a prospective couple. A couple they have seemingly chosen as the adoptive parents. The couples come together and things go well as long as the baby's biological father can keep his true nature under control. He gets angry and slaps his pregnant girlfriend which makes the adoptive father question whether or not they are making the right choice with this adoption. It is from this point that things start beginning to take twists and turns. You may be able to predict how the movie is going to end, but the trip to the end is an enjoyable one.

    An Intense Thriller...About Pregnancy.

    This is a movie that slipped under the radar, and now appears to be trying to gain some notoriety because it stars Jeffrey Donovan of the TV series "Burn Notice." I have to admit, it was a selling point for me, although the version I own came from a four-movie set that was sitting in a bargain bin.

    The story follows a young woman, Dina, who is unexpectedly pregnant and schemes, with her boyfriend, to sell the baby to another couple over the internet and, well, take the money and run. She tells her story to an older man who drives her to an unknown destination and tries to sell her "Jump to Conclusions" mats.

    Naturally, the plan does not go well, and most of the action takes place in one location--the home of the richer, more successful couple.

    The acting and action in this movie is actually pretty good for such an obscure find. Jeffrey Donovan is both intense and funny, and despite his natural smugness, he comes off as the most reasonable character.

    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.
