Burning Palms (2010)

lots of talent, all wasted........ Contains Semi-Spoilers: but who cares?

The story with Jamie Chung was obvious from the start since it's been done soooo many times. What made it awful were the scenes in the hospital. A psychiatric session where everyone you know gets to observe through a window? A female shrink that runs out of a session to stop a fight? A hospital with police standing around to chase patients instead of staff? Everything after kicking in the apartment door was completely unnecessary. The adopted child? CPS would have those two in jail within a week. They do check up on adopted children. Soooooo stupid! Rosamund Pike's story was Ok though highly predictable. Dangerous rich children? Gimme a break.Doesn't anyone call the police? Add that it's boring and ridiculous that adults would go along with any of it, this one gets a single star. Oh, and the ending is the worst part. The last story with Zoe Saldana was interesting and kind of tense, but it goes nowhere. 2 stars because the actors were really good, somehow.
