Synopsis

Every choice has a consequence. But what if the flip of a coin could trigger two separate but parallel destinies? Bobby and Kate are a young New York couple at a crossroads whose lives are about to take very different directions. A seemingly ordinary July 4th is cleaved in two by the flip of a coin. One path leads them to gentle discoveries about family, loss and each other on a visit to Brooklyn, and the other plunges them into an urban nightmare of pursuit, suspense and murder in Manhattan.

j_smith_7 JGL on the phone to Chinese gangster. 'We're in the bank on the corner of Canal Street.'2 minutes later Chinese gangster arrives at bank.JGL's girlfriend, Caty, in a panic. 'Oh my God! How'd he find us?'JGL 'I don't know.'That just about sums up the nature of this film. They really didn't think it through very well. Indeed, it leaves you thinking very clearly that they had no script for this. Just 'make it up as you go along guys' seems to be the rule here and, well, it comes across as just made up. JGL is good, as he always is, but the rest of the cast went through the movie in 'actor mode'. There is the ubiquitous scene of families all talking at the same time over dinner; out of focus views of twilight in the Big Apple; and a totally unnecessary sex scene. Sure this was all done on a low budget but so was Napoleon Dynamite. I really cannot think of anything positive to say about this film, even though I would genuinely like to do so. One to be avoided folks.
John Smith I'll write about the positive and negative aspects of this movie.One positive thing about this movie is the camera work. It is done in decent lighting and really shows the atmosphere that it tries to create. The acting is convincing and not over-acted.The movie is incredibly cliché and shows a huge lack in originality and it also tries to send a political message. Two Europeans in America are chased by a Chinese man with a gun. These Europeans in this movie have feelings and are real persons. The Chinese man is just a criminal without any personality in this movie. Just a plain murderer.This movie still gets a 1 out of 10 for the camera work. It doesn't get a higher score, because it's a very racist movie.
jaja letough While this movie definitely has a different feel than your average flick it is very entertaining and well made.The cinematography and soundtrack as well as the clever use of yellow and green help to keep the audience engaged. However the whole premise of this movies is flawed as the main protagonists are never really faced with a life changing decision.the movie follows two parallel universes but none of them are connected to the initial scene with the coin flip.the two stories are not the result of a moment in time where a decision changes everything.as a matter of fact we are dealing with two stories that could not be any different from each other and might as well just be two different couples with different life experiences. However I like the aspect of how different these stories are and was really impressed by the actor in this underlying love story.one story follows a very mundane family situation while the other is filled with action and suspense.but the bottom line is that this did not really make sense as the stories do not have a common point in time. This is why the ending is also a disappointment.the audience would clearly expect the stories to somehow be tied together but will never get what it is looking for. But overall I was still entertained and felt that the love between these characters was depicted in a very realistic way that anybody could believe
wes-connors Walking along the Brooklyn Bridge on the Fourth of July, Canadian musician Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Bobby Thompson) and his recently seeded sweetheart Lynn Collins (as Kate Montero) can't decide whether to spend some time in Brooklyn or Manhattan. They flip a coin, but run in opposite directions. Wearing green, Mr. Gordon-Levitt heads for Brooklyn. Wearing yellow, Ms. Collins runs for Chinatown. No wise cracks. In their respective boroughs, Gordon-Levitt and Collins meet color-coordinated partners, so we have both a green and yellow-tinged version of the couple running in parallel stories...Yellow Joey finds a cell phone in a yellow cab, which he and Lynn try to return to the owner. This turns out to be a dangerous decision. Meanwhile, in a green car, green Joey and Lynn find a stray dog "Tiger" on the way to visit her family. This symbolizes the domestic story. That the actors are improvising is sometimes more conspicuous than the coloring. "Uncertainty" features semi-wobbly, but beautifully color-coordinated photography from Rain Li and complimentary music by Peter Nashel. There is some fine work from co-directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel, who have little to say...****** Uncertainty (2/6/09) Scott McGehee, David Siegel ~ Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lynn Collins, Assumpta Serna, Olivia Thirlby
