I must admit, I didn't have high hopes with this film when I started it. Quite quickly it began to be annoying. But when things starting getting mysterious, when Ray sent off his family to the CT scan, I was hooked and kept with it, even though it was clear the creators are trying to mislead us with the organ donation things going (those questions and phone calls from that woman, the donation boxes etc.), the strange way his wife was communicating with him etc. I also found it very odd that his wife would let him drive after having crashed his head onto a concrete slab.
To me it was clear all the time something strange was happening and that it wasn't what we're expecting. All that is well and fine - I even praise the director and the writer for using as many ways as possible because nowadays, after having seen all possible ways a movie/plot can take, it is hard to surprise. The only thing that I found odd or almost comical was the final scene, when Ray drives off with that half sedated patient in the back he hallucinates being his daughter. The way that poor, barely clothed guy moved looked hilarious, especially with Ray in the front grinning victoriously. But even before that I had the feeling the makers are pushing it a bit too hard in order to have this almost surreal ending. I'd rather liked something less striking.
