This a strange little film. Every aspect screams "amateur" - the acting quality is a tiny notch above porn, the script trips into cliché at the worst moments, the direction is clumsy, the lighting (when they use any) veers between daylight or an 80s soft-rock ballad video. However, the story is great. I didn't see what was coming (truth be told it would be hard to predict) but there were clues planted along the way when you look back on it.
Whether this all makes sense is another matter, but maybe that's the point. I enjoyed watching it - it was wanting to know what happened at the end that kept me going, even though all through it I kept thinking "This is so bad..." The last 60 seconds of the film, however, should have been cut, as they ultimately spoil it.
Give this story to some new writers, director and cast, and it could have been a hit.
