A cool genre idea, intertwined with psychological drama in a clever way. Unfortunately, the last ten minutes or so pile on a bunch of extra ideas that would work well in a short story (or perhaps a novel, depending on execution - I'll be interested to find some reviews of the source novel!) but feel totally unnecessary and tacked on here, especially as they're mostly told not shown (perhaps there was a way for them to pull it off, but this wasn't it). Gugino and Greenwood are fantastic, though, as are the flashback kid and father (he's like 5% too theatrical but I suspect this is intentional).
