Having overcome not only his fear of flying, but his fear of death, Max emerges from the crash in a blissed, beatific state -- and finds himself no longer able to engage in normal life. Convinced of his own messianic powers, Max pours all his energies into helping a young Hispanic mother who lost her baby in the crash overcome her grief and crippling guilt. In the process he grows further and further away from his devoted wife and young son until he risks losing them -- and himself -- all together. [More]

Not only is it a gripping, beautifully acted drama, but the action scenes are jaw-dropping.

Shadows on the Wall

Weir and Yglesias, who adapted his novel, don't shy away from dealing with the kinds of issues seldom portrayed in mainstream movies: Fear of death and fear of life after a traumatic airplane crash.

A puzzling, overrated plunge into Inner Mysteries that are never truly compelling.
