Good movie but grossly overrated

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

As a fan of 'Charmed', I was looking forward to this movie of 2001. Having seen Shannen Doherty in other TV films, I think she can hold the lead role in a film as well as she does her character in the 'Charmed' TV series. But sadly, this particular movie was not worth the wait.There were too many slow-moving elegiac scenes of rivers and skies, and not enough momentum in the story. I feel I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this film, when in fact the movie could easily have been cut by half an hour. A bit of tightening of the script, cutting irrelevant scenes, and building up the back-story of the characters, all might have done the trick. As it was, the script was poor, the tone of the film was wishy-washy, the plot lacked structure, and the characters had no depth. Shannen Doherty was totally wasted.I love Julian McMahon, but he was also wasted as an actor; though he did look delicious, which at least gave the film a little enjoyment! The movie was clearly just a vehicle for the two actors, fresh from 'Charmed'. But the script/director/production relied upon that factor to keep the viewers entranced. In fact viewers need a little more 'oomph' to a film, to keep us truly interested in the plot, than just a pretty couple wandering about in lovely scenery .Only if you want to see McMahon & Doherty at the height of their 'Charmed' fame - for a pretty-pretty sight! - should you bother with this sadly disappointing film.~ by SceneByScene ~

OK people- i admit the film did drag on a bit in certain parts , BUT it was a good story and was done really well- the acting's pretty good too! i do recommend people to watch it only if they have a good amount of PATIENCE! And if you're a fan of 'Charmed' both Julian Mcmahon and Shannon Doherty are in the film!!! Oh and the story is quite confusing because it keeps switching back and forth between the times and some of the time i didn't know what the hell was going on but still its worth watching. i gave it a massive 8 out of 10 so it cant be as bad as the other reviewer said!!

I thought this movie was superb. Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon were brilliant together in this.This movie is a good watch for people who believe in destiny and fate. It shows that no matter what one does to prevent a regrettable incident from occurring, when given the chance, destiny will take over. I watched it not knowing that is was a thriller, but it really did keep you wondering what was going to happen in the end and what actually happened at the beginning. Shannen Doherty's narration at the beginning and the end made it seem more real and the amazing camera shots of the river was truly beautiful.It had me shouting at the TV telling Kate what to do and the movie affected me so much that I was crying.If you liked the movie Sliding Doors, then this is the film for you. I really recommend that you give this movie a chance as it has everything a TV movie should have. Love, drama, suspense and above all, Julian McMahon.

We watched this movie twice and were not wiser for it. And each time we not only asked ourselves 'what is happening?' but 'why are we watching this movie?'.Yet we all wanted to get to the end so we'd seen it, so we really knew there was no more to it than that. So we could know that this was a terribly constructed screenplay with enormous gaps, all too slow a tempo, no golden thread, and a whole lot of confusion as icing on this not too palatable cake.So we did all get to the end - twice - and now we know. Approach this movie with a barge pole.
