Disavowing all knowledge


The Vow (2012)

Directed by Michael Sucsy this film inspired by real events stars Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum and Sam Neill. A young couple are involved in a car accident which leaves the wife with brain damage and unable to remember ever meeting her husband.

The premise for this film is actually not that bad and opens up the possibility for some interesting drama but this film is more interested in focusing on the romantic elements of the story. While the film is fairly well made it never succeeds in being more than the sum of it's parts. I also think that some of the story elements are probably introduced in the wrong order so the story is never really able to work to it's full potential.

3/5
