This film failed to engage because of the overly complicated narrative and the general unpleasantness of the characters.

Despite the capable cast and some nice photography of rural America, this was hardly the subject of a Norman Rockwell painting. The focal point of the action is the character of Charlie, who is attempting to clear the name of his terminally ill father. To do so, he must engage in kidnapping and murder.

The major obstacle Charlie has to overcome is the indomitable figure of Ronita "Ronnie" Day. This manipulative matriarch appeared to be using her pregnant daughter Tina, as well as Charlie and his brother Terrence, as pawns in her master plan.

It was never convincing that $3 million would be stashed in one of the local farmhouses. There was far too much violence and too many loose ends in this low-budget potboiler.

I was skeptical of the high rating here with only 50 ratings but I rented it on Prime video to see whats up. The movie is low budget, but it's a decent watch considering that. If you enjoy the crime genre, there is some decent suspense, decent acting, and some violence. I will say my opinion on the storyline is that it is somewhat disjointed. We're thrown right into the story with little background or context at the onset.

It felt to me as if there were too many pieces attempting to connect. It's not that I was confused by or didn't understand the story - it's a simple story. It's more that you get pieces along the way whereas in a full length feature (something more than 90 mins) you may get additional background or context.

All in all, it's a quick watch at around 75 mins, and I don't regret watching it. You can find more in the crime genre with bigger budgets, but this one certainly has a few scenes that are solid.
