very entertaining movie.
In New Orleans just before Hurricane Katrina hits, a pregnant woman gives birth prematurely. She dies and her baby is in critical condition. The baby has to be kept in a neonatal incubator. When the hurricane strikes, all the power goes out and everyone in the hospital leaves. But the baby's father stays because the baby can't be moved so he has to take care of his baby by making sure the ventilator stays on. And because there's no power, the only power source is generator that he has to crank every few minutes. So he has to stay awake while waiting for someone to come for them.

As close to a real life experience as thought
As a resident of the New Orleans area and one who personally experienced Hurricane Katrina first hand. This movie hit a nerve in me, and was an experience that words fail to describe. I truly appreciate the efforts to reconstruct those dark times...This movie gives a very close approximation of what one would have gone through in the aftermath of such a tragedy like Hurricane Katrina. This movie draws you in and allows you to feel the same hopelessness that many faced or felt during those trying hours and days.

Good movie; little slow, though
It's a good movie. Paul Walker always delivers. However, it is very slow. The script could have been edited with more interaction with other characters, other things happening, etc. Not just one room in an empty hospital. Again, this is not Paul Walker's fault; he is a great actor; it is the plot that could have been a little better.

Good story different
This is a movie about a father who lost his wife in child birth. The baby was in an incubater when a storm hits , the power goes off and Paul Walker has tokeepthe baby alive when the hospital gets evacuated hes left behind. So he finds a generator that only works a few minutes at a time it has to be hand wound. He has to deal with looters.

A Fine Last Film From Paul!!
I actually bought the blu on this from Japan before it came to Best Buy for under $10 and don't mind having purchased both. This film is a wonderful, touching film and shows Paul's true ability to act. While it's fun to watch the F&F series, this is a more heartfelt performance and I really loved this film!!
