This film is interesting at several levels. We have all been faced with poor decisions we later regret. We have all done something wrong that we would like the world to forget. In this case, that event is a little extreme, but it gets carried off for two basic reasons. The writers have done a good job with character development of both David and his new-found friend, the nurse. Unfortunately, his new friend gives him bad advice. There are three people here who have made the wrong decision. Riding a bike at night in dark clothes with no flashing light on your bike is stupid. So is driving drunk. So is advising someone to break the law. I tend to be a bit sympatric to David, however, as the rider was absolutely partially at fault. Good writing and ending.
