The only cast that seemed misplaced is eddie, but after the intial few chapters, his atrocious accent and his acting suddenly becomes his character very well. The plot is thickened, pace kept tight without a beat missed with the unexpected at every turn.
The best thing about this movie is the plot, the story and how it plays out. Dont expect outstanding performances except from a few, but even with all that taken into account this movie somehow delivers, and reminds us that life is not a disney movie, Life is full of trials, and what we choose in these moments becomes who we are and holds consequences beyond our own lives and shapes the actions of others.
