Crystal

...and it shows. Jason London ('Dazed and Confused", "Broken Vessels') who is a Hollywood talent and played the dirty cop was paid $40. This story (much like my figures as to how much the talent was paid) was not really based on a true story either. I read an interview that was with the director/writer Michael Sneed, and there was absolutely no mention of this being based on a true story. Ever since "Fargo" did it, now everyone seems to do it. I gave it a 2 because I found the lack of talent and various screw ups in the final cut to be both amusing and humorous.

I don't understand what the deal is with this movie. Was it a social experiment? It was that bad! All of the acting in it was horrible. I highly doubt that most of the people acting in the film ever took real acting lessons. It is that bad. Many of them seemed like they were reading from a script during the filming. It was that bad. Again, I have searched online and cannot find anything that explains why this movie has such terrible acting. But, on the positive side, I have a much greater appreciation for real actors now. They deserve every penny of the millions they make. Maybe some of the people in this awful movie who pretended to be actors will someday be more convincing and come off as professional actors. Yes, it was THAT BAD.

I saw a few reviews before watching the movie- and they all mostly said the same thing "bad acting". So, just like the film "Eight Days" I has to go check it out and all I have too ay is...

Wow?

Wow with a question mark because, while the actors are bad- and so of the dialogue is exaggerated- I feel as if this movie could've actually went places had it been treated better- and with a higher budget along with better actors- and maybe even a few changes in the dialogue. But overall, I love how "mature" Crystal seems for her age- because that's the reality of neglected kids.

They grow up faster.

Its intense ..heartfelt movie Absolutely awsome ...in reality this is some peoples lives and the way its acted out is great 👍 anyone who disagrees are missing the point ...spund quality and picture has nothing to do with the point of a story .. A story is to be heard dont matter the quality only the meaning and it tells about crime...family ...drug addiction loyalty ..child abuse ...and love I totally enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend it

After watching this movie my hope is Jeremy Loudon pays his audition manager/agency out of his contract and sells himself to someone who can actually sell him. As the other spoiler reviews have advised this looks very much 'Blair Witch/Fargo' in the camera styling, I am sure the actors were given much leeway due to the only descent part of this movie; the plot. Had this been made into a book and not a movie I am sure the reviews would have been much better, and the story is why this review gets a four.
