Description
Criminal Psychologist, Jake Nyman (Robert Forster), is taking a much need vacation from responsibility. An experimental road trip during which every decision will be made at a flip of a coin. Meanwhile, Sandra Thomas (Amanda Plummer), disenchanted professional, is en route to pick up her flunked out sister, Alice (Fairuza Balk), at a cheap motel before continuing on to visit their ailing mother. After being forced off the road by a mysterious assailant, Sandra is picked up by Jake, whose coin-flipping amoral attitude quickly excites her own desire to break a few rules or worse. Jake and Sandra's dark romance is soon driven by chance acts of crime and kindness, all governed by a flip of a coin - At least until Sandra disappears and Jake unwittingly picks up her suspicious sister Alice…

1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time and electricity........2006-06-16

Maybe, just maybe, this could have been a good movie in the right hands.Somewhere buried deep was a plot.The dialogue was cheesy and the acting was amateurish. It was too "David Lynch"!Not funny enough to be a comedy, and not serious enough to be a drama. And the ending just leaves you hanging. The budget had to be $1.00, which, ironically, was the denomination of the coin he kept flipping. I forced myself to watch it hoping against hope that I could find some redeeming quality, but, alas, I could not.I ended up throwing the tape in the trash.(I didn't even rewind it!) I couldn't bear to inflict this pain on anyone else.

5 out of 5 stars Chances are...........2005-07-31

you're gonna like this movie! All is not what it seems in this road thriller. Every actor is cast perfectly. The story unfolds nicely and calmly, and then shifts---at the flip of a coin. A twisted tale where situations appear as one thing, but really soething sinister is going on. It's really difficult to talk about a movie with alot of plot twists without ruining it. All persons involved with this project deserve a high-five for a thrilling suspence movie!
