The Burning Plain

Told completely out of order, but done so the viewer can really get a feel for the passion the characters feel for one another. A man (Brett Cullen from Apollo 13) is not able to have sex with his wife (Kim Basinger from 8 Mile) who recently survived breast cancer, so she has an affair with a married man (Joaquim de Almeida from Fast Five) - they fall in love. Her daughter (Jennifer Lawrence from Hunger Games and Charlize Theron from Monster) angry and wants to scare them by starting a fire; it gets out of control and the lovers die. His son (Danny Pino from Cold Case)and her daughter start meeting and end up falling in love. She freaks out and leaves him after the birth of their daughter. About 7 years later he is in an accident and asks a friend to take his daughter to meet her mother. The ending makes it seem like she is going to stay with her family. All in all, I say: even though it is slow paced, it is a good story RENT IT
