    Poorly made drama

    Went to a free screening a week prior to it's theatrical release, and what stood before me was a film that attempted to fool people into thinking it was an action thriller for a half reel, before becoming the dullest of dramas. The main character is ignored for the most part and given little for plot, the main female lead is a typical emo-ey student film character, i.e. suicidal, odd and annoying. Ryan Phillippe being the biggest name of the bunch is unfortunate in that he actually tries harder than anyone else, but the poorly written film, with simplistic dialogue and twists evident to all but the writer from the twenty second minute make for this to be a tedious watch.

    Why Gerald spent six and a half years trying to get it made, and why people backed him., I have no idea, however if he just wrote the short film he wanted to first, this might have been a simple, entertaining and smart tale, stretched out to an undue feature length, it's dull, obvious and dumber than it thinks it is.

    Don't waste your time, and I say that feeling upset that it wasn't what it could have been.

    Truly awful...whoever was responsible for this ever seeing the light of day should be publicly humiliated.
