A film by Robert Schwentke is not even trying to step into the territory of melodrama: the protagonist played by Rachel McAdams is so in love with that there are no other characteristics can be found in her person. Her partner, Eric Bana plays just a handsome man, imbued with positive as with chloroform, next to whom dreamy lonely woman wished to be. Of course, Bana is not shining, as Patrick Swayze, while parting with Demi Moore, but it crumbles in the arms McAdams, like sand in the sandglass tears. Confrontation and the unity of love and time was already fully embodied on the screen by Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain), and for this pathos it was actually destroyed by the critics in Venice and the audience at the box office. Schwentke choked with the same feelings, but he also significantly reduced the degree of expressiveness.
