Three lives intertwine as a result of a horrific car accident. You've got recovering drug addict Naomi Watts, doing the "pretty woman made to look average" thing, whose family is killed. You've got Benicio Del Toro, the driver who killed her family. And Sean Penn, who gets a new heart from it. The story is told as a mix of flashback and present. It's pretty obvious that this movie was aiming high, with a great cast and an attempt at a deep storyline. Doesn't really work though. Tries really hard to be GRITTY and DEEP and ARTSY with all the flashbacks and hey THERE'S SERIOUS ACTING GOING ON HERE and all that. It just doesn't work. Movie is (in)famous for a scene where Watts' nipples are very (VERY) prominently on display. That's a real highlight but ends being about the only one. 5/10.
