The movie starts with a baby being resuscitated and cuts to the baby's mother going to visit her, the baby appears to be premature and we are shown a list of ailments, presumably things the baby will have.
Cut to 17 years later and a young girl called chloe is seen as having the ailments listed as she starts her daily routine.
One day whilst looking for chocolates in the grocery bags, chloe comes across some medication with her mother's name on, but when her mum gives her those pills with her own medication she questions it, to which her mum replies that it was the receipt she saw. Chloe soon realises her mum was lying and had actually been giving chloe medication prescribed to her, she sets out to find out what is going on without her mother knowing. Of course her mother soon finds out and chloe needs to escape her mothers clutches, as a paraplegic this isn't an easy task.
I think it's refreshing to see someone in a wheelchair as a main character in a thriller. She does a very good job as her acting is incredible, and Sarah Paulson plays a fab crazy woman too. The movie is one of those films which is easy to follow, nothing complicated at all. Many thrillers leave you wondering what just happened, but this is as straight forward as they come, and I like that in a movie.
