Rowan Woods directs a well gathered cast in this provocative and dour drama about a deranged man disturbing the early morning tranquility in a diner by pulling a gun and letting the lead fly randomly. Those in the diner must face a way to pick up the pieces and realize that sometimes bad situations presents a new beginning. That doesn't necessarily mean changes for the best. Kate Beckinsale is a waitress that loses interest in feeding her infant son. A wounded Forest Whitaker considers himself lucky and ends up losing every cent he owns. Dakota Fanning plays a teen with a new urgent faith in the Lord's ways. A doctor (Guy Pearce)loses every bit of self confidence and begins second guessing his actions. Bad things happen to good people and survival sometimes means change forever. Have yet to figure out the meaning of the title WINGED CREATURES. Also in the cast: JeanneTripplehorn, Jackie Earl Haley, Josh Hutcheron and Embeth Davidtz.
