I am a slight fan of Christian Kane's, I saw him from the TV show Angel, so when I was looking for a movie, I noticed him on the cover and even though I wasn't familular with the actors, also I wasn't sure about the story, but I figured I should give it a shot. So I went ahead and rented it and just watched it tonite and over all, I'd say that it was a good attempt for a thriller, but it was pretty average.Basically this radio host, David, has caught his wife cheating with another woman. Melody has just turned her boyfriend's, Sean, proposal down in public, but when Melody runs out to skip humiliation, she gets hit by a car and David helps her, so when he finds out about his wife, he drinks and gets thrown in jail, and to return the favor, Melody bails him out and they develop a friendship discovering that there might be people out to hurt them.Keep Your Distance like I said was an average thriller that could've been better, but from what I'm reading, the director is still pretty new at movies, so I'm going to give him a chance, because this wasn't a bad movie at all. So if you come across it, you might want to check it out, you never know, you may love it or you may hate it, but just give it a shot.5/10

I went for a nice ride on this film, the vehicles suspension wasn't to stiff, it handled very well, I wasn't required to be sophisticated to understand it's workings; yet it retained the required mystery, many thanks to the engineers for not adding a surplus of bells and whistles, sometimes less really is more with the exception of Jennifer Westfeldt that is. I would have enjoyed a lot more of her. However here my judgment might be clouded, as I think she would be fascinating just reading the phone book.I enjoyed a friends advice to pay close attention, as the plot had some detail that could easily be missed. I took the recommendation and gave the film the attention it deserves.Bellows,Raver and kane delivered their craft well and Raver was convincingly scary as the heartless wife. I may have rated it to high but it was refreshing not to see unnecessary violence in a decent thriller and of course then there is the Wesfeldt factor.Wow!

I really enjoyed this movie. The cast was superb, especially Gil Bellows. I didn't know most of these actors going in to the screening but they all delivered solid performances. The plot really keeps you guessing up until the last second - makes for a very dramatic final scene! Also, the setting of Louisville really accentuated the main character's "big fish in a small pond" life and provided for some beautiful locations to shoot. I've never been there before but now I definitely want to visit.Altogether a great film - congrats to Stu Pollard on a very creative endeavor.

You'll be pleasantly surprised by this recently released independent from Stu Pollard. Strong acting across the board, featuring charismatic performances from Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) and Gil Bellows (Ally McBeal). Not quite a thriller, not quite a romance, but close enough to both you won't be going to the fridge until it's over. Beautiful cinematography gives genuine personality to Louisville and its environs. Every aspect of this film shows Pollard knows what he's up to, in spades. A plot hole or two may leave you with a couple of questions at the end. So watch it again. When all is said and done, the story rolls along briskly and you'll be glad you went for the ride. Deserves to be seen. A sterling sophomore effort.
