    Interesting atrocity. I love it when filmmakers deem that they have a dynamite of a movie in the making and it ends up somewhat like this movie is.

    Jon Foster's performance is the only one I could say is actually good, since everyone else just swims back and forth from falterin...( read more)g to forgoing. Russell Crowe is just ridiculous in a cheaply made role of the retired cop with the sick wife. I have no idea why this movie was made. I received nothing from it, and having seen it, boy do I regret the 100 minutes of my life that went down the drain!

    A cold-blooded killer who suddenly finds friendship, a girl who sees no point in her life and asks to be strangled, a policeman whose hobby is chasing after a guy who might or might not kill again, an ending where you feel sorry for the poor murderer, and a few other random characters and facts that you give no care about. Unimaginably boring and bad. Even the minutes that it took to review it were a waste of time.

    the trailer looked so good. so disappointed when it never came to the local cinema. Borrowed the DVD and was bored for the majority of it. So slow moving. Always waiting for something to happen. It never did.

    A thriller drama movie with Russell Crowe which was one reason i saw this flick. This movie could have been much better because the story was not so good as i thought it would be. Its was kinda strange in a way and lack of excitement was another negative thing for a thriller flic...( read more)k and to slow-paced aswell. Russell did a nice performance as always tho and he was better than the whole movie it self which is a bit shame. Still its a watchable flick but it barely reaches the average level.

    I tried really hard to like this movie, and independently it was great, the relationships between the characters were good, the music was good, well acted, etc. But once it was put together it was slow and a little odd.
