Well, let me start out by saying, the true events this movie is based on happened here in my state. And the people were from the same city as me. I also remember how big of a news story this was when I was a kid.
So I thought this would be an interesting movie. And it could have been. EXCEPT:
First the pacing of this movie is absolutely dismal! It feels like an effort in film slow motion. And it is abysmally painful at times to sit through.
The acting is third rate. Yeah, it is that bad. I have worked on multiple films myself (My State has a fairly active film industry) and even our productions have 1st class acting compared to this!
Also, this was not shot in Utah and I can tell you, the terrain looks NOTHING like Utah! As friendly of a environment as Itah is supposed to be to productions and the fact this film shows a $1 million dollar budget, I don't know what the hell that money was spent on! As a film maker myself, I can tell you, if I had had $1 million dollars to make this film, it would have been worlds better in quality than this production!
As the other review says, don't waste your time. This story had the potential to be a very interesting story. But this is as bland as Utah jello!

What can I say? This movie has all the makings of what true cinema are: Drama, suspense, a little bit of comedy and nearly every other emotion known to man. I have watched this movie probably nearly 30 times over the years and it never gets old. I would rate this personally in my top 25 films of all time. This is film making at it's finest. And if you are one of the few Americans out there who has not seen this movie at some point, I promise you won't be disappointed!
