Absolute rubbish.
Interesting 'on the run' thriller/mystery
There's enough good photography, well edited, occasional profound sound, and well above average acting, with personable leads, villeins and characterisations, well cast, to make this a reasonable enjoyable experience provided your expectations are not beyond indie. The plot is at first paper-thin, with what seemed to me to be holes, with a script to match, but not so much you'd call it a B-movie. The opening sequence, for example, isn't recalled at all in the picture, and is, I suppose, some sort of segue way? (forgive my lack of vocabulary there!) Unfortunately it's a little predictable with things happening a tad slowly until the third act when the viewer can start to reengage, with profound plot twists and unexpected new horizons. It reminded me a bit of Vanilla Sky. It's that sort of 'what's going on'. As this movie leads to a second instalment I have to reserve judgement from here. The concept is sound, but, like many indie films, one often wonders if the project got the go ahead too early, and may well have benefited from more pre-production.
