Ratings and reviews

Most movies are about stuff that usually doesn't happen in real life. Even the "inspired by" movies have been tweaked. This was about something that I'm sure happens all the time. Thing is, there was no happy ending, or even a dramatic ending. Just nothing. Eh

Honestly, I was only watching this movie for Norman Reedus. I was, however, disappointed to find that he only has about ten minutes of screen time, even though he is billed third. I like the movie as a movie, there is a lot of tension and drama. Naomi Watts is a beautiful actress who did very well in her role.

Nothing endearing about this piece of junk. Even Norman Reedus couldn't help it. Colossal waste of time.
