I was intrigued to watch this film due to some of the cast members and though the synopsis sounded average and the title has the too often used construction these days (the "i") I went into watching this with a positive view. However I quickly saw dull stereotype characters with mediocre dialogue acted by people that should know how to do better. It became blatantly obvious from the first 5 minutes who the "bad person" was going to be (amongst other tired virtues) as it was a completely superfluous character with too much screen time along with the poor attempt at "misdirection dialogue" from the other characters. Poorattempt at the genre which made it very disappointing to sit through.

I'm just going to preface this with, I generally like B movies. I think they're fun and entertaining and I rarely give scores under 4 or 5 as long as there was some effort and/or creativity and the movie is entertaining in some way. This one is just bad though. Honestly, I'm only giving it a 2 for the cast and I will spend the rest of the day wondering how this movie even got half these actors. But otherwise there's just nothing redeemable here, no reason to watch. The story isn't compelling or even vaguely original, the killer is obvious from the second they're introduced, none of the performances or dialogue stands out, cinematography and editing are film student 101 grade, even the score is bad. If it weren't for "Facespace" and a character having a Blackberry, I'd have been convinced the movie was made in 1998 rather than 2008, and actually the movie as a whole reminds me of late night junky Showtime/Cinemax movies of the 80s. Seriously, save yourself the 98mins of absolute boredom.

I only gave this movie a 4 because it had Tony Todd in it. This story was beyond predictable to anyone that is a fan of this genre. William Forsythe took a role that was beneath him and his poor acting showed it, otherwise the established actors in this movie did a great job. That can't be said for the rest of the cast. It was a poorly done story that did not give finality to some some people and no decent background to others. The relationships in the movie were unrealistic for the most part. They chose to do a close-up shot on an actress with yellow teeth, which grossed me out. Whoever made this movie, kudos for getting the established actors, shame on you for casting William Forsythe in a role he is not suited for and go back to school to learn about making a good movie and telling a story well.

Detail is what seems to be missing from this type of film. If it has the detail then it's so good, but if it doesn't have detail as is the case of this film, I spend my time looking for faults that the writers missed.

When the cop is asked what kind of car was driven and he says I don't remember. My first thought was, "Now what cop misses big details like that?".

Film is just bad. I've seen William Forsythe do a much better job of acting, but given he was following a directors direction with a crap script his lack of performance is understandable.

For the most part Terri Colombino is one of the players that given what she had to work with did a pretty good job. I guess that the biggest disappointment was that the fake land lady never did do a nude scene in the film. I looked like she had the rack to set a world record!

I saw the cast list and that really was the main draw to this film.

I think it is definitely the script which lets this film down badly There are three plots in this film. While one sub-plot certainly did a nice job of setting up a red herring and lots of soft-core T&A, the third plot was off on its own little island with almost no connection to the events in the main plot. It only slowed the film right down and destroyed any tension being built up in the main plot. The main plot itself was not very original done but if more of the film was spent with it would definitely have been a better film to watch Many scenes appeared to have no connection to any part of the story at all. Most of the acting was competent but the male lead while pretty enough was just not very convincing. While Forsythe certainly acted better and got more screen time unfortunately this was all part of the irrelevant sub-plot. Actually both leads were boring sketches of characters and the more interesting supporting cast were all sidelined in favour of the nice, young, white couple. Perhaps this film did make more sense at one time but someone butchered it
