Came into this movie when it was shown on t.v. at the part where the Ben Affleck character was meeting his wife in the restaurant. Was intrigued enough to rent it to watch with my husband. Actually we thought, based on our recent movie going experiences that it is pretty good. I know from personal experience what a seemingly minor fender bender can have on lives. Criticisms would be that we know immediately what kind of a person Gavin is at the time of the accident and his later reformation because of what. . . the sight of two kids. . . is a little implausible. Not only the two main characters but also Doyle's wife are supposed to be believable in major turn arounds. The cast was great and my favorite line was uttered by William Hurt, "you're not addicted to alcohol, you're addicted to chaos" Such an addiction is not going to be overcome by one good act. Still overall this was an absorbing, fast paced look at a slice of human life and into the human psyche. Also I loved the rain and the drowningness of it as the characters were drowning.
