The film looks like a rushed production that a few friends got together and made over a weekend. Performances range from tolerable to horrendous, and the script needed at least another rewrite to figure out what it was trying to say, and, preferably, buff out a ridiculous twist ending that would make M. Night Shyamalan go “nah.” Read full review

Hopeless acting in every level. Tragic montage. A trivial scenario with a boring and tiring plot. The only plus that seems to me to be the corresponding binder of the whole plot is the soundtrack.
