Neither situation is particularly appetizing to watch nor do two extremely unlikely coincidences help matters. TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) - “Reservation Road” paints itself into a corner by creating a static situation in which everyone is either stymied or wracked by indecision, leaving the movie free for its two male leads to wallow in self-pity, remorse and bad behavior.Ī fatal hit-and-run accident provides a terrible intersection in the lives of two families, but to sustain the movie as a “dramatic thriller,” the callous driver - played by Mark Ruffalo in a sweaty-palms performance - cannot stop or turn himself in for weeks until the grieving father, Joaquin Phoenix, has driven himself into a homicidal frenzy. Actor Mark Ruffalo attends the "Reservation Road" gala at the 32nd Toronto International Film Festival September 13, 2007.
