User Reviews
Alright, but not as great at the reviewers are saying
All of the other reviewers seem to be typing tons of paragraphs...so I will try to keep mine brief and to the point.
I like Joel & Jason a lot as actors. I thought the movie was okay, but towards the end of the movie I found myself just ready for it to resolve and be over...so is the movie good?
Was I entertained? All in all, Yes. Was the Acting, Writing & Filming well done? Yes, very. Was it Suspenseful? I jumped Once. Never felt any real suspense though. Was it a thriller? Not really, more like a short story drama drug out for 2 hours Would I recommend it? No, but I also wouldn't say DON'T see it. Would I see it again? No. Will I remember it in a few months? No. Was the ending good? No, it kind've ruined the movie a bit for me.
Pro: Great Acting, Interesting Concept on the Surface. Con: No characters are sympathetic enough to care about, So you never get investe
