The Review:

The film was very interesting and kept you on your toes. It wasn’t predictable and I would definitely recommend it to friends.

The Tobacco Presence:

In the movie there was a group of guys smoking who looked like they were in their 20’s. They were strangers walking in a tunnel, and they blew their smoke into the main actress’s (Rachel) face who was distraught and lost. I don’t think the smoking was necessary because there are other ways the movie could have portrayed the message. The whole idea I think was to make Rachel feel like she was irrelevant and I think that could’ve been done by other actions such as spitting? I would not notice if smoking was taken out of the movie. I thought the guys smoking were rude. The movie did not show any real health effects or consequences of tobacco use.
