Director-writer Irving Schwartz has a lot of ideas about plots. Unfortunately, he seems to have jammed each and every one of them into a single movie, Perception. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 30 Success in 1 hour and 41 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Seth Meyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 06/23/2012 A dark comedy that is mostly dark and no comedy. Really a confusing movie full of unlikeable characters. I would say it's a tale of growth and change but even that is something doesn't happen. A really awful film. See more 12/14/2011 This film starts out so boring. I didn't care for any of the characters. I didn't like any of the characters. I usually like Piper Perabo but this time she was over the top. Piper plays Jen Marshall, a twentysomething who deceiving everyone around her. Jen moves back in with her parents and then everything changes when she gets hit by a truck. Roles get reversed, Jen gets needy and her friends leave her. Though, I have to say this film really picked up after the accident, and the ending, OMG, not exactly what you would expect. www.what-to-watch.com See more 04/24/2010 Hi, I watch about 15 mins of this and it was lame to watch this the main character is just out for herself and didn't understand her at all too so I stop watching it and the other actors was bad too a lame movie all the way around don't recommend no one to watch this boring movie. See more 03/20/2010 A gut-wrenching, gratingly depressing feel-bad film. Good because it's so perverse in subverting everything mainstream cinema cherishes. See more 05/04/2008 Wow, how far has Hugh Jackman's star fallen since the end of the Xmen franchsie that he had to produce this wastte of space! It started out promisingly enough before any semblence of convincing plot or suspence or, damn it, anything that might make it remotely entertaining, completely went out the window. Charlotte Rampling made a good cameo though. See more Read all reviews
