But not nearly rare enough if it is YOU under the knife.  Actually, the statistics are pretty consistent with the 1 in 700 cases as quoted in the movie.  As someone with absolutely no familiarity with hospital protocol, many of the other events portrayed in this movie seem hard to believe.  Apparently, my suspicions are well founded.  But aside from the inaccurate portrayal of hospital procedures in heart transplants, this was really a pretty good movie.  Plus, I&#8217;ve been informed by people more knowledgeable than me that Jessica Alba is not too hard on the eyes, if need be.    The plot swerved wildly from what I would have expected.  HINT (but no spoiler):  I expected a sappy romance.<\/li>\n<li><b>RECOMMENDATION:<\/b>  <i>This is a thriller movie.  Many people will be highly offended by every movie in this genre because of the bad language and other questionable elements.  However, if you are a fan of this genre&#8211;<\/i>I think you will enjoy this somewhat sappy love story.  But&#8211;unexpectedly, the two people REALLY in love are not the husband and wife.<\/li>\n<li><b>RATING (out of 5 stars):<\/b>  <span class=\"rating\"><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><span class=\"empty\">&#9733;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-colorbox info\">\n<h4>MOVIE RATING SYSTEM:<\/h4>\n<p>Start with zero (0) out of five (5) possible STARS<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add one STAR if it looks like the movie was made by professional film makers&#8211;not 4 or 5 guys with a camcorder.<\/li>\n<li>Add one STAR if the film has a story, theme or plot (optional for horror and\/or zombie movies); or if the movie makes any sense. <\/li>\n<li>Add additional STARS for special effects, acting, good moral message(s), realistic zombies, scariness,<br \/>\ninteresting theme or plot and the like.<\/li>\n<li>Subtract STARS for extreme bad acting, COMPLETELY awful themes\/messages, overall INCREDIBLE trashiness, graphic and persistent lewdness, and the like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-right\"><a href=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2533?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2533?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The movie reviewed here is not for children.
