The cinematography was decent but the writing and/or directing was weak. The plot devices felt obvious and predictable. The situations in the story seemed contrived and I had a hard time believing that the characters had motivation to warrant their actions/reactions to events - giving many of the dramatic scenes an unintended comic effect. I almost never stop watching a movie I've invested more than 30 minutes in, so I watched until the end yet I felt my time could have been better spent.

Why does the movie poster feature a relatively minor character? Is it because the lead actor is not as well known? The actor featured in the ad is somewhat recognizable even though he has a relatively small part. That seems misleading and unfair. I was actually quite impressed with the lead's performance - especially considering that some of his dialogue was, in my opinion, very poorly written, and probably a challenge to deliver. Other performances in the movie were unremarkable.
