Great story, if you don't get into the story you are not human. This poor guy struggles with his life from the beginning. Some of us have been in the same boat and some us continue struggling to move on. Great job for telling your story.

This movie had a promising premise where a man searches for ways to make things right. He owes money to people he should not owe money to, etc. It had all the makings for a great indie darling. The technical aspects of this film hinder it from me recommending it.

Nathen Burch directs this movie and based on his IMDB, this is his directorial debut. It started off strong with above average camera movements and inspired cinematography.

James Yaw does multiple duty as the writer and lead actor of the piece. I commend him for tackling such an important subject as suicide. Ocho steals the movie as Angel Diaz, and I can't wait to see what he does next. Jessica Martin turns in a great performance as Gwen with her strongest scene being at the end.

Sound was the final nail in this coffin as well as it being the red-headed step child of indie film. A lot of lines were not heard and part of the emotion was lost. I, myself, a filmmaker who has dealt with sound issues all the time, can understand, however a lot of the problems with sound have easy fixes.

What a powerful story. I was not expecting the ending. The story makes this movie more than just a popcorn movie. This movie will make you think of what is the meaning of your life. This movie will teach you to open your eyes and live your life as best as you. I recommend this movie and watch it with an open and clear heart.

The struggles of Jeffrey that many suffer and go untold. Very compelling story. You must be ready for reality to hit you. Great job to everyone involved in the creation of this amazing story!

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021 The fact that this film is based on a true story makes it even more powerful. The cast does a masterful job of bringing the characters to life with emotion and detail. You feel like you know these people. A great job by the Director bringing it all together.
