Action Crime Drama Mystery Thriller

7.5 / 10

Eva Khatchadourian is trying to piece together her life following the "incident". Once a successful travel writer, she is forced to take whatever job comes her way, which of late is as a clerk in a travel agency. She lives a solitary life as people who know about her situation openly shun her, even to the point of violent actions toward her. She, in turn, fosters that solitary life because of the incident, the aftermath of which has turned her into a meek and scared woman. That incident involved her son Kevin Khatchadourian, who is now approaching his eighteenth birthday. Eva and Kevin have always had a troubled relationship, even when he was an infant. Whatever troubles he saw, Franklin, Eva's complacent husband, just attributed it to Kevin being a typical boy. The incident may be seen by both Kevin and Eva as his ultimate act in defiance against his mother.

Her and bill Forsyth are the two best Scottish filmmakers of all time. - @Monday, July 9, 2018 3:25 PM

I watched this on DVD a while ago and I admired the style more than the actual story, which is nothing new. I'm not surprised Nicolas Roeg's son Lucian is one of the producers, because it's stylistically like one of his father's films. Watch The Man Who Fell to Earth or Bad Timing or even Performance (which he co-directed with Donald Cammell, who also had a similar, very esoteric style) and you see the seeds of the style used here. - @Thursday, January 16, 2014 10:22 AM

I just couldn't get in to this one. The character of Kevin is so preposterously, improbably evil that the film feels like a parody of a more reserved take on the concept. - @Wednesday, January 15, 2014 7:15 AM
