Snow Angels


Love the line up of actors in this, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell(Greenmile, The assassination of Jesse James, Choke), Michael Angarano(The Forbidden Kingdom), and Olivia Thirlby(Juno). The movie is about a small group of people who are intertwined in a tragic event in the distant future. The movie starts out a little slow with not much going on, but you feel a storm brewing in the distance. First I should mention we start in the present, but go back a few days to show what led up the opening scene. It confused me at first because they didn't really mention it. Kate Beckinsale plays a mother dealing with depressed/bitter husband. Who drinks heavily and has a jealousy issue. When their daughter disappears thing take a turn for the worse and they all have to deal with whats in store. The movie had a nice feel to it, but need a little work put in by the director. Some of the scenes felt like they were forced into the film and a little unnecessary. When you have that much acting talent you should take advantage of it and use it. Over all it was good, I rated it a 8 on imdb, but wanted to give a 7.5.
