It's Man on Fire all over again. Is it too much to ask to see someone set alight?

Instead we have a non-linear to the point of becoming schizophrenic story of a chef, played brilliantly by Matthew Goode, having trouble dealing with his wife dying of cancer and being left with an 8 year old son.

Goode is great. The rest of the film was a pretty standard caner drama, no matter how much they try to chop up the timeline to make it more mysterious. The editing also makes it hard to connect. Or maybe I'm just a heartless bastard, but I always think it's cheating to just have someone die from cancer and automatically expect the audience to be empathetic and ball out eyes out. Not if we're not invested in character first.

Yeah I didn't really connect with this one.
