Joanna Kennd was driving home in the rain and hit a kid on bicycle when she tried to fetch something from her purse. She went to investigate and found the child is too seriously hurt to be moved, so she went for help. When she returns, she was waved off by the cops. Thus began the tormented journey for Joanna until she made things right in the end. Joanna, played by Margaret Colin is completely believable in the role. Her every grimace, hesitations conveyed the guilt and conflict (will she see her own daughters again). Margaret Colin has been one of my favorite actress since I first saw her in Independence Day. She adds a womanly grace to everything she does, even in playing a woman who had done some wrong. Thanks to Colin's excellent performance, this movie was captivating from beginning to end, despite a simple story line. There was enough happen stances to make it interesting and of course Margaret Colin pushed it over the top. With the success of Independence Day, I wish Ms Colin to land more substantial roles beyond television. Nine out of ten stars.
