Keep Your Distance is about a talk show host (David) and a drug saleswoman (Melody) who get caught up in several scandals, including their own. Melody has a possessive and rich boy friend who gives everyone the willies. David gets letters that show him things about his life and he confides in Melody who he meets by chance, and they help each other through some tough times as friends. As things start to pan out some clues start to give away the twists that occur at the end. A class A film technically with lots of good scenes. Acting was very good and the characters where believable. In the end, the letters spell out a lame plot as the characters have to explain it all to the audience.

I am a slight fan of Christian Kane's, I saw him from the TV show Angel, so when I was looking for a movie, I noticed him on the cover and even though I wasn't familular with the actors, also I wasn't sure about the story, but I figured I should give it a shot. So I went ahead and rented it and just watched it tonite and over all, I'd say that it was a good attempt for a thriller, but it was pretty average.Basically this radio host, David, has caught his wife cheating with another woman. Melody has just turned her boyfriend's, Sean, proposal down in public, but when Melody runs out to skip humiliation, she gets hit by a car and David helps her, so when he finds out about his wife, he drinks and gets thrown in jail, and to return the favor, Melody bails him out and they develop a friendship discovering that there might be people out to hurt them.Keep Your Distance like I said was an average thriller that could've been better, but from what I'm reading, the director is still pretty new at movies, so I'm going to give him a chance, because this wasn't a bad movie at all. So if you come across it, you might want to check it out, you never know, you may love it or you may hate it, but just give it a shot.5/10

This film is completely predictable without rendering any entertainment value whatsoever. Its simply terrible. It amazes me that work like this actually gets made; moreover, it has the guts to solicit money, as if making the film were equal, in some far away galaxy, to having suffered through watching it. The twists and turns travel deep into plot point after point until the mystery unravels itself into portraiture--nothing meaningful happens. What does occur are heavy-handed maneuvers in story conventions at the expense of the audience. Surely there is no conscious disdain for the viewer, but to scorn film goers through reckless naivety isn't just no matter how mot just the intentions might have been. Furthermore, it is hard to believe that any skill lies in either the craft to create story or to successfully, manipulate deceitfully. Neither are done subtly thus neither are received auspiciously. Hopefully the cast and crew were given the proper time to jump ship before this boat sank back into the mind from which it came. Perhaps Writer/Director Pollard should stick to voice-overs?

I don't know what the hell people are bitching about on this page. This was a great movie - it really does keep you on the edge of your seat - and has a great cast. It has a great twist at the end - and you really don't know "who-dun-it" till the very end - it was really enjoyable... and yes - i worked on this film - but i took 5 friends to see it who all agree with me. in summary...this film makes you question your relationships with others - you can't always trust everyone - and you certainly don't know everything about your friends. (in short - you'll leave questioning all relationships in your life) i think it was a great film - but you should see it for yourself.
