Outlier

Cannot believe this is Strayer's first feature film! It's a gripping/intense thriller that definitely brings a classic feel into play. Would highly recommend checking this film out if you like a less violent but mentally thrilling film...

I managed to finish the movie!

It is not like a movie movie , but it is like 4 members with a camera. Black magic, there is no story and active like school days.

An exciting director to watch out for! Nate Strayer's first feature shows a deep understanding of storytelling. Circular arcs of some characters and matching shots where's character roles have been switched Nate's writing is impressive in the details of a motion picture. It is thrilling and delivers some chilling visuals. Even more impressive is the size of the crew... which was insanely small in pulling off a feat such as this. Watching the film you would never know.

The cinematography is quite stunning at times and the film really takes advantage of beautiful locations. Much like the director I see this cinematographer as something very exciting to watch out for as well!

A woman puts up with an abusive SO until she breaks free with the help of a stranger at a gas station. He is helpful and understanding, enough that he lets her stay with him until she figures out her next move. This movie is only ok. There are many scenes of her running away, over and again. As realistic as that might be it's a tad tedious when presented tediously. Of course he isn't what he appears to be. The most intriguing thing about this flick is trying to figure out what is going on, but that only holds up if the explanation in the end is enough. In this story it kind of is enough, but the acting isn't.

Might be ok if you have time to waste on a decently done amatuer film, but I suggest not wasting your time, because acting is dreadful and there are way too many better films to watch.
