Ryan Phillippe more or less reliably speaks his lines aloud in this bizarre, inexplicable production.
This film ambitiously attempts to meld a desperately stretched social justice revenge flick with an absolutely nonsensical drug heist crime flick, applying all the formidable knowledge and experience of a high school film class to the endeavor. Jim Gaffigan was apparently lost in the vicinity while they were shooting.
The resulting "thriller" is nearly unwatchable as such, eschewing traditional notions of pace and tone in favor of a straightforward series of scenes, presented neatly and entirely devoid of emotional substance. There are brief moments where it nearly finds comedic legs, awkwardly lurching through through the stilted dialogue, but the tragic absence of subtlety looming over the film makes it all too clear - they never meant for it to be funny.

Wife and I were convinced to watch it when it had an 8.2 rating on IMDB, and the plot sounded a decent. We could not make it more than 20 minutes through it. The characters, acting, pacing and bizarre use of a shakey cam all contributed to our confusion. It felt like a first draft that was accidentally released.
Stellar Cast, yet unfortunate poor filming. Constant camera movement headache and distracts from actors natural talent. Shame, was really looking forward to film and plot development. Wish film had been created with alternate or classic "steady camera". Lighting not balanced, dining area may have dimmed lights for atmosphere, yet kitchen/cooler would absolutely not be dark. I would watch again if set design/lighting, and camera crew filming were scrubbed with a fresh approach. Too much intertwined from start of characters development. Reboot with better balance of set design, light & direction.
All the actors were game. Even Drea De Matteo who got NOTHING to do. The tones of the three stories didn't mesh well. Kat Graham's tragedy porn storyline with Ryan Phillipe went SO hard that it veered into camp. Or maybe it started off campy - hard to say. Cackled several times at parts that were not meant to be funny. Not bad for a Five Dollar Tuesday experience in a half full theater. I appreciate the IDEA of Kat Graham continuing to get acting roles even though the outcome is always dicey. I miss her aspiring pop music era.
This takes place in and around an L. A. restaurant over one night. Various people are dealing with their own dire issues which culminates in a devastating incident.
Some stories are better than others. None of them are perfect. Jim Gaffigan's story is trying to be too secretive. It takes too long to reveal. The whole movie is like that, but his story is particularly frustrating. The drug story is probably the most compelling, but I'm not sure why they are hidden there. As for Ryan Phillippe and Kat Graham, I don't buy that story. He wouldn't buy it. That story makes this whole enterprise too contrived.
