Uncertainty (2008)
7/10
a flawed premise that still leads to entertaining hours

While this movie definitely has a different feel than your average flick it is very entertaining and well made.The cinematography and soundtrack as well as the clever use of yellow and green help to keep the audience engaged. However the whole premise of this movies is flawed as the main protagonists are never really faced with a life changing decision.the movie follows two parallel universes but none of them are connected to the initial scene with the coin flip.the two stories are not the result of a moment in time where a decision changes everything.as a matter of fact we are dealing with two stories that could not be any different from each other and might as well just be two different couples with different life experiences. However I like the aspect of how different these stories are and was really impressed by the actor in this underlying love story.one story follows a very mundane family situation while the other is filled with action and suspense.but the bottom line is that this did not really make sense as the stories do not have a common point in time. This is why the ending is also a disappointment.the audience would clearly expect the stories to somehow be tied together but will never get what it is looking for. But overall I was still entertained and felt that the love between these characters was depicted in a very realistic way that anybody could believe
