Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Console best movie i've ever seen.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

MagicStarfire Five stars pretty much catches this one. I've seen worse, and I've definitely seen better.The film begins with what appears to be two stories - Melody Carpenter (Jennifer Westfeldt)is at a horse race in Louisville with her boyfriend, Sean Voight (Christian Kane) and his father, Brooks Voight(Stacy Keach),when Sean decides to make a very public marriage proposal to her, which is flashed up on some kind of scoreboard, and the TV cameras get pointed at them.To Sean's surprise, Melody says no. This is rather upsetting for her and so she goes running out of Churchill Downs and almost gets hit by a vehicle driven by David Dailey(Gil Bellows).David Dailey is a very popular radio show host on WHAS, and his wife, Susan is also well known.There's also a little sub story about a politician who was running for office until the rumor that he had child porn on his computer ruined him. This eventually ties in.David suddenly begins receiving mysterious envelopes. The first one he receives sends him to a hotel, where he expects to rendezvous with his wife, Susan.Susan is there alright, but not as he had expected. Susan, it turns out is involved with another woman, but lesbians viewing this film need not get their hopes up. It's clear this film was written by a man for men's entertainment, because what does Susan do but hang onto David and suggest in the future they make it a threesome. The fact Susan's lover is female, which raises the question of whether she's actually gay, never gets questioned or developed. Nor does Susan's lover have any objections to the threesome arrangement. No, it's saintly David (said sarcastically I assure you)that has doubts about doing this.Melody, meanwhile, is paranoid for no particular reason during a sales trip to Indianapolis.As it turns out someone is following her, as she discovers when she goes racing after a black car that she's noticed always being around.Melody and David apparently have no friends, and so although the two of them are complete strangers, they immediately contact each other when problems arise in their lives.

kristine-dicolandrea Although I still think that Pollard's first movie (Nice Guys Sleep Alone) takes the cake in my book, Keep Your Distance was a thrilling mystery, that will keep anyone who likes trying to crack codes and solve mysteries on their toes. Pollard did a great job of integrating the city of Louisville (from the well-known skyscrapers seen in the skyline to the best ice cream place in town) into his movie - anyone who loves Louisville should definitely see this movie. Acting was well done, cinematography was visibly improved from Nice Guys, and, all in all, it's definitely a film worth seeing. The unexpected twists in the story kept coming, and the way the film unraveled itself towards the end made everything come together comprehensively.

paulgeaf Well, there are a lot of bad movies around these days I know but this one somehow really gets under my skin. It is made worse by the fact that I came here first to read the opinions and reviews on it and, in doing so was convinced it could be something a little special by a director I don't know of and with a story that sounded intriguing. Boy oh boy was I in for a surprise. The kind of surprise you get when you are about to go on holiday and when you grab the tickets as you are locking the door you realise that you somehow booked the flights a week early. That isn't a surprise really, more of a grim realisation; a nightmare...a shock. This movie is a shocker. It doesn't shock you. In no way does it shock you. What it does do is amble along miserably in the style of an early 90's TV Movie, about as slow-paced as can be without coming to a complete standstill, the characters are introduced and, well, we are feeling that now that we know everyone, the plot will start soon. Hmmmm another 20minutes goes by.............zzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz "maybe the story is going to be a big build up and totally throw us back in our seats" I said to the few that were still trying to watch it, not having made an excuse to leave! Nope. Nothing. A big fat nothing. The whole movie was like an episode of some nondescript daytime US series that never quite got to the end. When this movie did finally get to the end, that was another surprise. I don't mean it was a great twist or a brilliant piece of writing that made you realise why the rest of the film had been the way it had.... Oh no, it was a surprise because it confirmed to you what you hoped it wouldn't: That there wasn't a redeeming factor or space of even ten minutes in this film that could be described as interesting or -god forbid- entertaining. Only watch this if you feel sleepy but can't fall asleep... I guarantee you will be nodding off within the hour.Why do people make films like this??

Derrick Grant I don't know what the hell people are bitching about on this page. This was a great movie - it really does keep you on the edge of your seat - and has a great cast. It has a great twist at the end - and you really don't know "who-dun-it" till the very end - it was really enjoyable... and yes - i worked on this film - but i took 5 friends to see it who all agree with me. in summary...this film makes you question your relationships with others - you can't always trust everyone - and you certainly don't know everything about your friends. (in short - you'll leave questioning all relationships in your life) i think it was a great film - but you should see it for yourself.
