The Circle

Angela Bettis (MAY) and Scott Cohen (THE 10th KINGDOM) star in this completely offbeat film about a woman who tries desperately to get the hit taken off of her husband. The gimmick is that the entire 100+ minutes not only play out in real time, but it's one continuous camera shot following the characters from location to location. Great (though somewhat predictable) ending and a few anomalies, but it's fun to see how much work went into it -- they even manage to pull off a flashback. Actually, at times I got engrossed in the movie and forgot that there were no cuts. Also stars David Proval ("The Sopranos") and Henry Czerny. On DVD.
