Loved the book the movie is based upon. Hate the movie. Finally, with about a half hour remaining I gave up and turned it off. I don't even care what happens to them. Can't recall the last time I was so bored and disinterested in a movie. Would recommend not wasting your time and that you read the book and forego the movie.

The presentation of the movie, first person, is an incredibly odd choice and quite off putting. I seriously cannot believe I gave two hours of my time to it. I'm sure I would not have done so had I not liked the novel. I kept waiting and waiting for something worthwhile to grab my attention, but finally had to give it up!

The movie is so-so. I've certainly seen worse. But what I've not seen worse is Eric Dane's acting. I also saw him in The Ravine recently and he was equally bad. My wife says he was good in Grey's Anatomy but in my two experiences watching him in movies, well, he's just awful.

Odeyo is passable in her role as a teenager caught in difficult circumstances and I will definitely watch her in other films to see how her career progresses. Her character in this role, I think the writing left a little to be desired, but with what she had to work with I thought she did alright.

There is a lot of very slow speaking by actors. Made the movie drag on longer. All in all, probably better off finding something else to watch.

Maybe the most stupid movie I've ever watched. I made it through 40 minutes before giving up. The dialogue is ridiculous, the situations are ridiculous; I can't find one redeeming moment or really any reason to continue watching this ill-conceived idea for a movie. It still amazes me to this day how some ideas actually receive support and funding to find its way through production to the screen.

Just save yourself some time and if you are considering watching this movie based on what seemed like a reasonable description, stop here and just don't.

This feeble attempt at entertainment further justifies and solidifies my decision to cancel Apple TV. To increase the subscription rate from 7 to 10 while pushing this drivel on the consumer, we'll, Apple should be ashamed.
