It was obvious from the start that the ending was not going to be a happy one and it didn't let me down.
I am a huge fan of a father daughter story, probably because I lost my wife a little over a year ago to leukemia and have a six year old girl myself. So, with that said, maybe this is a little too personal for me.
Ava Preston did a terrific job, her role was morbid but later evolved into the tropish teenage girl which was disappointing. The fact that William dies because he is trying to save the life of someone he doesn't know, and in turn Jackie, whose relationship with Gloria consists of brief bonding over their period left me heart broken. Jackie was totally unworthy. William should not have died for her, and perhaps that is what makes this story good in that nothing ever works out the way you would hope.
I suppose it would have been total pandering to the audience to have William survive and he drives off into the sunset with his daughter, but I guess with my surprising personal connection to events in this story I wanted it even more.
