Maria Bello and Jason PatRick straighten up when they hear their names, and they smile when they remember the filming of «Nancy«. Last film of Joah renck, who also made, and with great talent, video clips such as «Nothing Really Matters«, By Madonna, and«Love at First Sight«By Kylie Minogue.
The film finished its filming last year, and hits the world's screens next March. As has been commented, it is based on real events, and that makes it more chilling. Why? Read the plot.
One woman, Nancy (played by María Bello), is an exhausted housewife, disgusted with life. But instead of settling on a simple suicide, she prefers to hire a stranger she met online to do the job for her. The problem is when Nancy meets her killer, played by Jason Patrick, and falls in love with him. Will he give in to such love? Or will it fulfill the work commissioned?
I admit that I do not consider it a very novel proposal, since it is a more or less well-known story. Among husbands who order their wife's lovers to kill her, even jealous boyfriends or girlfriends, and things like that, it is constantly being proposed. Ultimately, the value will be given by Miss Bello, and the young actor from "In the Valley of Elah."
