somewhat disappointing

Danika (Marisa Tomei) is a 30-something protective mother who works in a bank. She is married to successful husband Randy (Craig Bierko). They have 3 kids, 2 boys, Kurt and Brian, and 1 daughter, Lauren. Danika is disturbed and near a breakdown. She has terribly terrifying nightmares and is constantly distracted in her work, which lead her to commit a certain number of unforgivable mistakes. She is seeing a psychiatrist, Dr. Evelyn (Regina Hall). Will her nightmares come to life? Will her lack of attention cause a tragedy? What will happen next?

The story was promising, but when the plot came to its end, I couldn't believe how stupid the whole script was. It would seem that her problems originated when her husband had an affair with their nanny. It was too simplistic to be believable. However, the way the movie was shot (past and present scenes back and forth) turned out to be confusing, because the viewer isn't sure what takes place in the present or the past.
And the acting is bad. At least Regina Hall's is bad. Marisa Tomei is usually a good actress, I found her overacting a little too much. Surprisingly, Kyle Gallner (as teenage Kurt) is quite good.

Confusing. Still interesting to watch once, for the ending.
It's definitely not on my most recommended list, but it's worth watching, and not a total waste of time.
