So yes... we have seen this before. A transplant recipient experiences something that directly ties him or her to their donor. An intriguing concept, but in this particular film, it drags on. Josh Lucas plays Terry Bernard, the lucky recipient of a heart and the doting father to a daughter who is stricken with one of the unluckiest genetic diseases, a degenerative disorder that turns her internal soft tissues (cartilage) into bone. He is a single father trying to make the best of the situation he is dealt. Further complications arise with his attraction to his daughter's doctor, Elizabeth Clemson (Lena Headley), and his visions of the brutal murder of his donor and his wife. He keeps getting a glimpse of what had happened that fateful night.
Soon his heart is acting on it's own, truly feeling the thoughts and emotions of the donor, he begins to seek and take revenge on all who participated in the donor's murder. There are a couple of twists, but they are foreseen and extremely predictable, which is the one thing that I loathe about a movie.
I give it a 4 out of 10.
Next up is "Hereafter."
