I was looking for something interesting to watch and found this "indie" movie on Amazon streaming. The IMDb "user reviews" have become a wild, untrustworthy place over the past few years and there are many glowing reviews of this movie. While it is OK it really isn't that good. But interesting enough for an 80-minute viewing.
The kids start off in Colorado where they live and go to high school. Valentina de Angelis is pretty girl Jessie who has hopes of becoming a model. She contacts an agency in L.A. and they are receptive.
Adam Perez (as Adam David) is her boyfriend Matt. While he doesn't really want her to leave town he also wants her to be happy and successful, so they drive together to California.
The meat of the story is Jessie is found murdered and discarded in a Los Angeles ravine only a few months later. The police don't make any progress and Matt becomes determined to solve the mystery, find the killer and bring him or her to justice. He gets a mysterious package with a DV movie tape, he uses these as clues.
The scenes of Jessie and Matt together are mostly interesting. Frankly the middle of the story and its final resolution just don't flow well and the end seems pretty odd to me. But hey, it's an indie movie and for what it is, could have been worse.
