Brief synopsis of A Little Trip to Heaven

Insurance agent Abe Holt (Forest Whitaker) is investigating the suspicious death of the driver of a burned-out car. Holt has to work out whether the dead man, a conman with a criminal record, could possibly have been the victim of an attempt to swindle the insurance company. When he meets Isolde (Julia Stiles), the dead man's sister, whose face is disfigured by severe scars, Holt slowly begins to lose his professional distance.

I love Forrest Whittaker but his attempt at a Minnesottan accent was dire, he sounded more irish. Julia Stiles was great, but the rest of the cast seemed very strange, it was like a who's who in british tv acting, I kept expecting Victoria Wood to pop up in one scene with Anne Reid (dinnerladies) as a waitress. I gave up towards the end so I don't know if it improved, but by two thirds of the way through I was so confused as to who Jeremy Renner really was, and if the boy was a product of incest or not, that I didn't have the will to live!

Started with good intentions but soon disolved into a plot which was far more complex than it needed to be and rapidly lost our interest. Forest Whittaker is an actor whose films we always look forward to seeing, but even he couldn't really turn this around and his accent was shaky to say the least.

Even at the end we weren't even really sure we'd got it. We're not rocket scientists but if we don't get it, chances are many others won't either.
