bowmanblue Uncertainty is about a young couple of flip a coin to decide what they're going to do with the rest of their day. We, the viewers, are then treated to two different intermingling stories (parallel universes if you like) involving the same couple and showing us what happened along each path.It's kind of like Sliding Doors, but with a bit more action in it. One story involves the couple on the run from dangerous gangsters and the other involves them going home to their family.Now, it could just be me (I prefer the 'action' genre generally), but I found the half of the film dedicated to the couple on the run from the gang to be the far more entertaining of the two, while the story about them confronting issues with their family a little dull.It could just be me. Maybe someone who prefers drama over action would prefer the other one. Either way, everyone plays their part pretty well and there are worse films to watch.

j_smith_7 JGL on the phone to Chinese gangster. 'We're in the bank on the corner of Canal Street.'2 minutes later Chinese gangster arrives at bank.JGL's girlfriend, Caty, in a panic. 'Oh my God! How'd he find us?'JGL 'I don't know.'That just about sums up the nature of this film. They really didn't think it through very well. Indeed, it leaves you thinking very clearly that they had no script for this. Just 'make it up as you go along guys' seems to be the rule here and, well, it comes across as just made up. JGL is good, as he always is, but the rest of the cast went through the movie in 'actor mode'. There is the ubiquitous scene of families all talking at the same time over dinner; out of focus views of twilight in the Big Apple; and a totally unnecessary sex scene. Sure this was all done on a low budget but so was Napoleon Dynamite. I really cannot think of anything positive to say about this film, even though I would genuinely like to do so. One to be avoided folks.

jaja letough While this movie definitely has a different feel than your average flick it is very entertaining and well made.The cinematography and soundtrack as well as the clever use of yellow and green help to keep the audience engaged. However the whole premise of this movies is flawed as the main protagonists are never really faced with a life changing decision.the movie follows two parallel universes but none of them are connected to the initial scene with the coin flip.the two stories are not the result of a moment in time where a decision changes everything.as a matter of fact we are dealing with two stories that could not be any different from each other and might as well just be two different couples with different life experiences. However I like the aspect of how different these stories are and was really impressed by the actor in this underlying love story.one story follows a very mundane family situation while the other is filled with action and suspense.but the bottom line is that this did not really make sense as the stories do not have a common point in time. This is why the ending is also a disappointment.the audience would clearly expect the stories to somehow be tied together but will never get what it is looking for. But overall I was still entertained and felt that the love between these characters was depicted in a very realistic way that anybody could believe

jotix100 Kate and Bobby meet on top of the Brooklyn bridge during a Fourth of July. They have to make an important decision. It is a time for celebration. After all, it is summertime in New York, so what could be pressing on this couple when Bobby decides to toss up a coin probably to see what route to take to solve their problem. After they look at the result of the toss, both run in opposite directions.What is really going on here, one wonders. We are given two stories that run parallel to each other, in two narratives that serve to make it difficult on the viewer not paying attention to what appears on the screen. On the "green" theme, we see Bobby and Kate in what seems to be the present time, working through problems in their lives. Bobby, a Canadian musician, needs a green card if he wants to stay in the United States. Kate, on the other hand, must face the final scrutiny when she faces her family for a barbecue at their Queens home because she is pregnant, but has not told anyone about her condition.Running into the other story, we see Bobby and Kate dressed in yellow, riding on a taxi, as they go to a Chinese dim sum place on East Broadway. Bobby notices something he is sitting on, and he discovers a cell phone. Kate's instinct is to turn it to the driver, but Bobby wants to do the honest thing in notifying the owner about his loss. What neither one expects is the reaction they get from the man that lost the phone when he tells him he will come to meet him dressed in a red jacket. Bobby and Kate witness as the man walking toward them is shot almost in front of them. They are in for the adventure of their lives, to say the least."Uncertainty" a film written and directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel, works in two different levels in a surprising way. The creators take their viewers for a dizzying ride through downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, with a story that shows a realistic situation that may well be happening because it is not too far fetched, or does not ring true. The filmmakers got an inspired Rain Li to photographed New York from a perspective one does not often see. The downtown area, the new Brooklyn parks along the East River, and even Queens, get the amazing treatment of the excellent Ms Li.Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins are seen as Bobby and Kate. Both give nuanced performances of the characters they are supposed to represent. Lovely Ms. Collins keeps getting better all the time. Mr. Gordon-Levitt has been dazzling audiences for a while now. Others in supporting roles include Spanish actress Assumpta Serna playing Kate's mother. Olivia Thirlby, is on hand to play Kate's sister Sophie.
