Blind Side



A great suspense thriller!
This movie was really wonderful. When 2 lovers after a vacation in Mexico get back on the road to return home to the U.S., they hit a police officer who staggered into the road. Fearing the Mexican legal system, they leave the dead policeman in hopes to return to the states without being caught. With terrible feelings of guilt about what they have done, they try to move on with thier lives. Then an unexpected visitor from Mexico enters thier lives and nothing will ever be the same again. This movie is full of suspense and terror and a surprising twist that may help this couple to move on with thier lives, if they can escape thier adversary that has plagued them since thier return and continues to haunt them. A great movie that will leave you shocked and scared!

Returning from their factory in Mexico, Lynn Kaine, played by the sultry Rebecca DeMornay, and husband Doug Kaine (Ron Silver) collide with a pedestrian just south of the U.S. border. It turns out this pedestrian is a Mexican policeman, who doesn't survive the collision. Lynn, who is pregnant, was driving at the time of the incident. Fearing his wife's incarceration, Doug takes the wheel and flees the scene of the collision. They make it back to the U.S. after some tense moments at a Mexican drug check-point.

Riddled with guilt, the Kaines ponder whether to report the accident. To heighten their paranoia, Jake Shell appears at their home a couple of days later, stating he's just...
