Writer Michael (Liam Neeson) left his wife Elaine (Kim Basinger) and is living in a hotel having an affair with society reporter Anna (Olivia Wilde) who wants his help to write her novel. Former soap star Julia (Mila Kunis) gets a hotel maid job so that she can get visitation rights to her son with her lawyer Theresa Lowry (Maria Bello) and her ex Richard Weiss (James Franco). In Italy, businessman Scott (Adrien Brody) is getting entangled with illegal Monika (Moran Atias) and her young daughter. The three stories intertwine.

Paul Haggis does his interconnected stories again. I like this idea slightly more than Crash. At least, this one isn’t trying to preach something obvious. He’s not hitting the audience over the head with some kind of social commentary. Neeson and Wilde have a little bit of fun. I find Kunis’ character compelling. On the other hand, I hate Brody’s story. It starts with the ridiculous bomb scare. The comedy bit about a shoe bomb just makes it so much worse. The hotel clerk discriminating against her is another bad step. A villain would take the money before asking for more. No bad guy would let somebody walk out with the cash. That whole story seems to be a farce. I can’t stand Brody’s story and the extended running time doesn’t help.Read More
