    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Filmed in North Bay, Ontario.
    • Goofs
      Greg's cellphone number was stored in Amy's phone when he calls her back. If she wanted to speak to him specifically on his cellphone, she should have just called it (rather than calling the office landline, being patched through to him, and then requesting that he call her back on his cell).

      [While not referenced in the dialogue, it is entirely possible that Greg routinely turns his personal cell phone off at work to avoid interruptions.]

    Almost Zero Human Interaction

    This movie was just Watts the whole time. In the spirt of movies like this The Guilty and that flight movie where the guy is on the phone the WHOLE time. This movie was nothing new or special. I was a bit annoyed with the whole movie to be completely honest. I think the more ppl in the movie the better the movie. See I loved The Guilty but I did not like this one. Not saying you won't enjoy this one but it was just not interesting to me. I will also not be recommending it to anyone I know. As always be your own judge!
