Five stars pretty much catches this one. I've seen worse, and I've definitely seen better.
The film begins with what appears to be two stories - Melody Carpenter (Jennifer Westfeldt)is at a horse race in Louisville with her boyfriend, Sean Voight (Christian Kane) and his father, Brooks Voight(Stacy Keach),when Sean decides to make a very public marriage proposal to her, which is flashed up on some kind of scoreboard, and the TV cameras get pointed at them.
To Sean's surprise, Melody says no. This is rather upsetting for her and so she goes running out of Churchill Downs and almost gets hit by a vehicle driven by David Dailey(Gil Bellows).
David Dailey is a very popular radio show host on WHAS, and his wife, Susan is also well known.
There's also a little sub story about a politician who was running for office until the rumor that he had child porn on his computer ruined him. This eventually ties in.
David suddenly begins receiving mysterious envelopes. The first one he receives sends him to a hotel, where he expects to rendezvous with his wife, Susan.
Susan is there alright, but not as he had expected. Susan, it turns out is involved with another woman, but lesbians viewing this film need not get their hopes up. It's clear this film was written by a man for men's entertainment, because what does Susan do but hang onto David and suggest in the future they make it a threesome. The fact Susan's lover is female, which raises the question of whether she's actually gay, never gets questioned or developed. Nor does Susan's lover have any objections to the threesome arrangement. No, it's saintly David (said sarcastically I assure you)that has doubts about doing this.
Melody, meanwhile, is paranoid for no particular reason during a sales trip to Indianapolis.
As it turns out someone is following her, as she discovers when she goes racing after a black car that she's noticed always being around.
Melody and David apparently have no friends, and so although the two of them are complete strangers, they immediately contact each other when problems arise in their lives.

Average mystery thriller
good movie... terrible ending...
Its kinda low budget tv movie. some ok performance .
but i didnt like the ending, its kinda unfinished or unsatisfying one. there could be more of it. but anyhow.. its a good time killing movie.
I would say that it's a nice try for a thriller
I am a slight fan of Christian Kane's, I saw him from the TV show Angel, so when I was looking for a movie, I noticed him on the cover and even though I wasn't familular with the actors, also I wasn't sure about the story, but I figured I should give it a shot. So I went ahead and rented it and just watched it tonite and over all, I'd say that it was a good attempt for a thriller, but it was pretty average.
Basically this radio host, David, has caught his wife cheating with another woman. Melody has just turned her boyfriend's, Sean, proposal down in public, but when Melody runs out to skip humiliation, she gets hit by a car and David helps her, so when he finds out about his wife, he drinks and gets thrown in jail, and to return the favor, Melody bails him out and they develop a friendship discovering that there might be people out to hurt them.
Keep Your Distance like I said was an average thriller that could've been better, but from what I'm reading, the director is still pretty new at movies, so I'm going to give him a chance, because this wasn't a bad movie at all. So if you come across it, you might want to check it out, you never know, you may love it or you may hate it, but just give it a shot.
5/10
