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.

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

A gut-wrenching, gratingly depressing feel-bad film. Good because it's so perverse in subverting everything mainstream cinema cherishes.

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.

This movie is quite interesting. Piper Perabo stars quite saucily as a woman who's perception is altered with a life changing event. And the people she pushed away before she now finds she wants in her life and needs. Some interesting twists and turns. I'd highly recommend viewing. Piper is a good actress and quite beautiful.

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.
