This film can be slow for some. The storyline is decent enough, and so is the acting. It did kept me glued and wondering and waiting for the truth to revealed. A relatively enjoyable film to watch on a slow or quiet afternoon or night.

This movie simply had too many plots with poor delivery of the story that leaves you confused in the end. The story is simple enough to understand after you pay attention but the story telling is not smooth and there seems to be multiple plots thrown in the mix that would have been better to cut out. The movie overall to me was a mess to watch. An interesting mess but a mess none the less.

The director and writers should have stuck to one plot and cut off the fat. In a movie with twist and turns that would have been a better approach instead of throwing in subplots that added little to nothing but confusions to the story that in the end go unexplained or even forgotten.

Next time just stick to the main plot.

I would give extra points for the original story and concept. However the screenplay was bad. There were so many things the story couldn't justify. Also I think it would have been better if it revolved more on 'Art' because he was the coolest character in this one.

Nonetheless I didn't get bored and could watch the film completely so it's a 7 from me.

It's one of those films that hold your attention, expecting something great to ultimately happen, only to be let down with a cluttered, convoluted, incoherent and incohesive story. There was just no reward, and it looked like a bunch of screenplays were thrown in the shredder then randomly taped together. It tried too hard to be smart, and lost focus on any character development to align with the story. Then add the terrible pacing to the convoluted plot's 103 min runtime, and you'll be begging for something thrilling to happen quick so the film can end. Why would the producers hire an amature writer in his first screenplay, and not at least have a seasoned writer look it over? Schroeder's directing was adequate, but what stood out was the cinematography and score. The only convincing performances were Kartheiser, Lopez and Qualley. Everyone else, especially Wool, were stale and seemed amateurish. Maybe part blame goes to Schroeder's failure to direct his cast properly. It's too bad, this film had tons of potential. It's a 6/10 from me.

The film is quite unlike most films in that it keeps you in the dark and doesn't spoon-feed the plot. I thought it was a really well made low budget film with a truly original script. The film is quite mind-bending and I can see why some people might not like it, but it is really worth watching to the end. I would say it's one of the best low budget films I've seen as the script and direction is really quite unique.
