Oh, that script by Mr. Schwab! As Cajun comic Justin Wilson says, 'He doesn't miss one damn inch of that road.'

The Learning Curve may not offer anything new, but it has terrific vitality.

Adds a layer of irony as the director makes one beginner's mistake after another -- revealing Schwab's own learning curve to be quite steep.

uncharacteristically ambitious aims for a film that otherwise looks like nothing more than cheap exploitation thriller

Good, flashy visuals, but writer/ director Eric Schwab still has a long way to go in applying a strong story with characters that matter.

Sets an intriguing low-key thriller into motion, then proceeds to resolve it in the most uninspired way possible.

The movie's all flash and formula, as original as the letter A.

Despite having only watched it for fun and not expecting too much, just to check out what Carmine was like before CSI, I actually found myself really enjoying the story and acting (although it does have dodgy moments). Its engaging and you'll need tissues at the end!
