    WOW just WOW

    First of all any of the 10 ratings must be the mothers of the Actors.

    This was dreadful. The acting, dialogue, the script, the way the actors even enter the scene is so poorly done. As soon as I saw the "nurse" which is about 10 minutes in I knew the entirety of the film and I was right - the sad part is I had to endure the worst movie of my life to satisfy my curiosity. I laughed so many times followed up seconds later by a cringe. So bad

    Skip this and I promise you will thank me. If you do not you will ruin your day/night.

    Overly ambitious novice indie film that I couldn't hate even with its many flaws

    Overly ambitious novice writer, director, producer and actor Dave Patten wore many hats in his basically first full length feature film, and although it had many flaws, I have to commend his efforts.

    This is a B-grade independent film with C & B list actors. The main leads acted very well, but the mobsters were overboard and cliched. The score was decent in certain parts, but terrible in others. The editing was bad. The directing was primarily decent, but the shaky camera shots were dizzying and annoying. The writing was actually fairly decent, but still had its plot and pacing issues.

    I couldn't love this film, but I couldn't hate it either in knowing its a novice low budget indie production, as I've seen much worse bigger productions.

    I'm the 6th review and 4/5 (10's) are clearly fake - sad to see the producers feel the need to do that, and the other 1/10 review is undeserving. The current rating of 5.9 is about right, nothing higher and not below a 5/10. I'm giving this a 5/10 that may have been a 6/10 had I not been annoyed by the fake 10/10 reviews.

    What the Hell was that???

    Horrible movie!!!! Terrible!!! How was this movie ever released??? I bet the best actor in this movie was probably the janitor who had to clean up after all filming was done. Not sure why I watched till the end. Don't bother watching this... watch paint dry instead.

    Save your brain from the pain

    The movie started ok for a B grade movie and went down hill from there. Bad acting with inconsistent emotions for the situations and ridiculous outcomes for the main characters.

    A movie about fools trying to fix their life after they killed the wrong person. There is no reason to like the main characters personalities and they have no real objective or any decent goals to drive the movie forwards.

    Save yourself the time and go and burn a cigarette on your arm. You'll feel more pleasure.
