Wow, I went in not expecting too much - but really? This was such a waste of everyone's time. For the life of me I never expected it to be of such poor quality, and the story was just insane and really left gaping holes in what exactly this was going for. It WAS sad- but not for reasons it seemed the director had hoped me to feel sadness for. What I did feel sadness about was first and foremost the bad rap Megan Fox got, to me it was just taking out the easy target (and honestly, she was the only one that I felt at least tried to save this flop). I wanted to see what Mickey Rourke shot his mouth off about - and it ticked me off even as a fan, that he sat and tried to laugh it off as honestly, he was the biggest joke in this farce (and an even bigger joke was the fact that tough guy took it back after he realized he ran his mouth which made me lose even more respect for him!). Don't get me wrong, I wanted to route for Rourke in this one as I typically do, and I have a great deal of fondness for his body of work. But this was a case that he tends to fall into time and time again when he just fizzles out and becomes a stereotype and phones it in. And its just painful to watch him hobble trough this one, his appearance and acting just distracted me instead of making me believe in the story. The Happy character was a take it or leave it for me, sorry Bill, you got sucked into this mess! Even Kelly Lynch is someone who I think is great and she too looked like a sad old version of Diane in Drugstore Cowboy. Overall just a waste of talent and a chance to give Megan Fox some sort of credibility in a more serious role. But when you make the wings and plot so laughable and unbelievable, you make her rely on her beauty alone. Theending is horrific and all you can wonder in the beginning and throughout is wait, there is someone with wings running around and going to doctor's and its just shrugged off? Say what? If she was "an angel" and it was meant to not be so literal or only in the mind's eye, it was no big reveal in the end. I really was lost as to what this was supposed to really mean and or care to understand what it was going for. All I spent time on was thinking who let this be released as is? Just a train wreck. And no, it was not Megan's fault. Watch it only to see her look beautiful and at least try if you are a fan of her. Don't watch it if you are a fan of the other stars, they look and act terrible and make you wonder why they agreed after doing such brilliant picks they did this and make them seem washed up.
