movie starts off with a great aerial shot of what i believe is Ontario city which is totally misleading because the whole thing takes place is the deepest woods.
actors did quiet a good job although protagonist is very hard to like. he kisses his mother like 5 times in the first 10 minutes so nobody could miss the fact that he cares for her. also very hard to believe that his female accomplice could ever fall in love with him that much. they don't seem to have much in common.
scene which upsets me the most is the escape of the 2 left hostages. they walk out of the house like they are 5 year olds who try to sneak around moms back to get to the candy drawer. how could No one be watching them? they literally have nothing to do. one of them plays fallout 3 because he is so bored. to be fair fallout 3 is one of the best games ever developed.
of course this American dream thing plays along throughout the movie and subtly gets mentioned every now and then but in the end it doesn't seem to conclude in any way.
the emo male accomplice casually kicks her alleged good friend to death (or maybe not?) for no reason whatsoever like he slaughtered his opponents in fallout 3 earlier. at that point i began to wonder if i looked at the movie from a wrong perspective. maybe it was a comedy all along.
i kind of liked the dispute of the 3 fathers which on its own got me to watch the thing through. but also was disappointed by the reaction of one of the fathers after he realizes that his son died. could have given the story another nice twist.
