    What a terribly made film!

    The writer/director had no idea how to tell a story. It jumped around far too much and in far too many ways for it to be enjoyable. The dialogue wasn't pretty bad. It's a shame because it was a potentially good story. However, it was organised badly and was so predictable that it was hard to watch.
