COMMIT is an intriguing tale of two people who find one another on the internet, each looking for someone special. Well, rather, each was looking for someone willing to do something extremely special. The structure of the film was quite simple. Presented in three, uncut 30-minute segments, the film is most all dialogue. There’s little or no action. Simple conversation. The tale is told in text and presentation. The writing was superb, the exchanges sharp and witty. The acting really was great. Nicole Blaine and Forest Erickson gave engaging and touchable performances. One serious problem haunting the film is believability. There are such great, intelligent, witty exchanges between Blaine and Erickson, such solid chemistry, discussions that suggest so much to live for, that it is near impossible to believe they are contemplating their own mortality. “Commit” is solid faire. Look for a DVD or an internet presentation. This film will last.
