This movie was neither 1-star "corny" or 10-star "Amazing". Seriously, some "reviewers" need to stick to their day jobs. ; )
This film had beautiful cinematography, decent acting, good location choices. The premise was interesting, but at only 1 hour 20 minutes (a lot of that credits), they could have added another 30-40 minutes and better developed both the characters and the story. A bit more mystery, a bit more intrigue, and a *lot* better ending would have gone a long way toward making this a better movie. As it stands, the ending is droll, a cowflop at the end of the film.
The film is below mediocre but not terrible. I would give it a 5 star rating but for the repeated unwarranted and gratuitous language dropped suddenly in the middle of the movie that side-railed the otherwise mostly-peaceful presentation of the film... and told me the writers were lacking in true skill. Having to revert to such instead of using more intelligent dialog (especially in that particular discussion) was simply low-class.
Folks who think it's absolutely amazing must be very easy to entertain. Those who hated it... I can understand but it's really not that bad. It's just not good. Thus the step-below-mediocre rating. Frankly, they could have done better.
