    Not good

    The movie was hard to follow and the acting was terrible. No chemistry between characters. Really not good.

    C production movie

    High rating for this movie comes from false reviews, this is a typical low budget movie with pretty bad cast, poor music choice, bad writing, one or two decent efforts at acting, but nothing else. Not worth watching, overall feel is weird with some cringe and annoying moments.

    Absolutely terrible acting & directing

    Do not waste your time. Just unrealistic and nothing about it is good. It's quite possibly.the worst movie I have ever seen.

    How did this cost so much?

    I refuse to believe this cost 2.5 million to make..

    I only know of this movies existence because I know someone involved in it. I expected it to be low budget, but not a chore to sit thru. The script was obviously changed early in production, because the first plot line starts and ends within 25 minutes, but was set up to be the main plot. The actors were as good as expected for a low budget movie, but I believe with a better director they would have done slightly better

    If this was a genuine attempt at a movie I'm sorry but try harder and work a budget better. Sorry for being harsh good luck.
