A young woman brings her boyfriend to the hospital for a leg operation. She goes to get coffee and when she gets back, he is gone and nobody has heard of him.
This seemed really low-budget. The plot was actually interesting, but the characters were stale. Anyone who has been in a hospital knows the type of authoritative lack of information that gets communicated there. I would have liked to see more nurses sitting around chatting and a bunch of cops everywhere to make it really accurate. Some more waiting rooms full of people who have been there multiple days would have added authenticity as well. The acting was not so great, but Brittany Murphy was in Clueless (1995), Girl, Interrupted (1999), Spun (2002) and Sin City (2005). Video looked like an updated version of cheap 1980s B movies, but the audio was really good. Here's what really counts: I did not like it. It seemed too contrived and forced to me. I rate it tolerable because although it had some good stuff going on, it just didn't pan out to be an entertaining film.
