Tipping Point (2007)
interesting thriller about a schizophrenic girl witnessing a... murder?
It is a pity that the first comment shown about this movie distorts one of the most interesting things about it: the "nice girl" in this story has not a "past" "childhood physic problem", she has schizophrenia, and like thousands of schizophrenic people, she has to live both with her condition and the stigma of being cataloged as "nuts" by everybody if she decides to tell about it. So as every schizophrenic do, she tells no one, she just takes her medication and leads a mostly normal life, a bit afraid of her voices to appear any day again and very afraid of being rejected by others because of such possibility.
From that point, the movie turns into a very interesting movie, if a bit expectable in the outcome, really good in every other aspect. Katheryn Winnick has everything it takes to be a star, she is remarkably beautiful, but she can make you forget about that, and she can make you forget that she is anyone but Nina, tortured by the noises in her head, unable to trust what she sees or believes is true anymore.
A movie worth to see, for many reasons

a 10 hours long cell phone conversation is not a good idea...
I'm a telecommunications engineer and I just got quite shocked to see that what triggers this love story is a 10 hours long mobile phone conversation.
We still don't know the long term effects that prolonged use of mobile phones might have on our brain and eyes, that are among the organs with highest water content, hence the most exposed ones to the risk of the electromagnetic field cellular phones emit while they are active (this is, while we are actually having a conversation). We only know that in fact there is an increase of the temperature of brain and eyes, and a change of our normal brain waveforms. we still don't know if this is damaging, but it would be a good idea to not encourage people to abuse the usage of cellular phones, especially the duration of the calls.
Doctors and engineers who design the cellular phones also use them, but we all should be aware and not use them too much.
Sorry, I know this is not a critic of the movie, but its plain to see that public is not informed enough about this issue.
