Lucas Black is a good actor and this starts well but loses it way towards the finish and ends up being a muddled mess.

This was probably the most boring movie I've ever seen. Good twist, but the movie was just stuffed full of unnecessary scenes that not only made it longer than it needed to be, but was super boring on top of it.

Decent film, good twist. I almost stopped watching it, it was kinda boring for the most part but I'm glad I finished watching it.

Just when we think we are coming to the truth, Marfield throws a curve that shatters all of our expectations. Full Review
A whole lot better than most direct-to-video crime thrillers; it's just that this particular story's been done to death by this point. Full Review
