Look up in the sky. It's a, well, it's a huge hot-air balloon crashing down by a picnicking couple (
Daniel Craig, Samantha Morton)! That's what launches this odd film as a bunch of men, including Craig and Rhys Ifans, try to help a boy survivor out of the basket. But after one of the rescuers is killed during the rescue, Ifans contacts Craig to talk about the incident.
Then he begins stalking him, causing Craig to slowly lose his wits as he tries to ditch Ifans and process his feelings of guilt about the accident. As the film reaches its conclusion, director Roger Michell (
Notting Hill) leaves it up to the audience to untangle the events, but by that time, the plot has taken a backseat to Craig's mesmerizing performance. He's the one that'll leave an enduring mark on your memory.
