Freeman Bender (Mark Kassan) has PTSD and a history of violence. Charges were dropped as long as he stays on his meds. He spends his money on Elly (Ivana Milicevic) a prostitute. Penny (Sophie Turner) a 17 year old girl likes the dark needy personality of Freeman and thinks she can turn his life around. Their relationship remains non-sexual at his insistence. Her parents do not approve and we soon discover Penny's father (Ray Liotta) has similar anger management issues as Freeman and we also later discover they share the prostitute. Small town that NYC is. In the end they all gather together at the dinner table like an Agatha Christie story.

I thought the story was unrealistic and messed up from beginning to end, especially the end. Didn't believe one single character.

Guide: F-word. Brief sex. Brief nudity.

Hollywood, please stop making this trash. This is a movie about a guy with mental problems that befriends a selfish girl from a psychotic progressive family and....well...it doesn't end well for him. This is absolute garbage and a good example of why people are choosing to watch old movies and Korean movies. Bye Hollywood.

I'm totally out of words for this little piece of garbage. Take for instance the wife, it is a caricature of a bad actress; she is so bad that I believe that she is the one who financed the movie, that's the only way she can be on it. The only salvation is the NYC locations, NYC always brings beauty even in such a horrendous movie. The dining scene by the ending of the movie brings the worse of all, the stupid idea of killing the Soldier. I wonder how can somebody with knowledge of filmmaking decides for this terrible 😢 end! I can't even call a B movie because I will be offending the category.

I agreed with most the acting not great. Didn't make sense that the family leaves for the play, they are gone. The escort shows up then we see dad on the roof with his wife and they go to the pla!!!! Weren't they already gone?

This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I was deeply interested when I saw the listing because of the legend Ray Liotta, i like Shopie Turner, and who doesn't love Hector Salamanca?

It started out with a typical school girl crush on an older man when they bump into one another on the street. She's aggressive in her attempts to get to know him. I was thinking he was never going to get close to her because of the age difference and that she's a minor, but she forces herself into his life until he finally gives in.

I did like the fact they were never intimate so that's what the one star is for. The rest of it made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Questions I need answered

1. What is the secret?

2. How did she get a key to his place?

3. How did he get invited to a family dinner?

4. Why did the Dad want to get rid of him?

5. What is the escort's role and what did she know?

The father kept saying hos daughter would understand, but there was no answer to how or why! Every actor was horrible, especially the mother. I just can't believe how awful this film was in every way. Script, directing, editing, and filming was a complete mess.

I scoured the internet to find an explanation and there isn't one. No one liked this movie. Don't waste your time.

I thought this movie was gonna be great it sounded like a good story line great actors. Movie started pretty good and then the ending happened and it killed the whole movie. I watch the ending five times and I still can't figure out the ending. I just wish that they that Freeman killed a little sniffling school made of Penelope.

It's not shocking that the majority of viewers don't understand this movie, it's honestly dark and genius. You need to have a deep resignation with selflessness, self-loathing, love and depression to truly grasp what's happening as the movie unfolds. This soldier hates himself, hates that he's alive, hates the things he's seen and gone through. He starts falling for an underage girl because he sees her as pure and doesn't want to ruin that, in fact he wants to protect her with everything he has left. He turns to a prostitute because like everyone he has carnal needs that she can fulfill but she falls for him because unlike the usual cheating, abusive, dirt, pathetic johns she's used to, she can tell he's different and that he struggles with similar internal feelings as her own. Jealousy rams rampant in every character of this story and to be honest there needs to be more character background or development to give a more well rounded vision to viewers. Ultimately the meaning of the ending is that while the father was prepared to kill the man for not loving his daughter and feeling he's taken advantage of her, he realizes that the man's willingness to die for her better good is actually a true indication of how much he does love her and how good he is. The man then decides to take his own life, saying "you're welcome" to the father before jumping from the building to signify that he knows he will never be good enough for her, that there is no changing that and in order for her to move on he has to die, but he's willing to take his own life to save the relationship between father and daughter because she would never forgive him if he killed the man she loves.

It they had better actors, it would have been a better movie. One of those, "I know it happens movies". But they missed the Mark. Some things in the movie don't even make sense.
