Wow. I thought this one had some potential. But as stated in the title, it was absolutely painful. I'm not saying it wasn't without merit. The cinematography was pretty good. Definitely not a small, budget film. And the acting was decent. It's just that the storyline was miserable. It takes place in a bleak Maine town near the Canadian border. There are pretty much no jobs except for picking potatoes. So the kids in the movie have no future to look forward to. One of them gets his girlfriend knocked up. And naturally, there get into running drugs. As it turns out, this is one of those movies I quit halfway through. There was nothing pleasant about it. '
If you're in the mood to get really depressed, check it out. You'll love the miserable characters.
