I only lasted 15 mins into this film as the acting was so bad, the timing and dialogue was very unnatural, even the actors cadence felt like they were reading from the script to each other for the first time. The lead actor was like a poor mans Shia LaBeouf and I just got bored with the film in general as it just felt way too linear and amateur.

This movie reminds me if Quentin Tarantino decided to make a movie as bad as possible. Writing was trash, acting was even worse.

Story is not good. Exposition is thrown in everywhere in awkward, clunky ways. I enjoy 90% of movies I watch, and this definitely falls into the latter. I can't think of a single redeeming quality of this movie. Not one. Do not watch it.

Lots of negative reviews so hopefully I can offer a different perspective.

If you go into this movie expecting a high bankroll blockbuster, you'll be disappointed. If you go into it expecting a high-quality art-house film that suddenly becomes a blockbuster after a come from nowhere major award, you'll be disappointed.

If you go into this knowing that it's a low budget, local, indie movie that also happens to be Ungaretti's debut as a leading man and writer, you will be entertained. Could the writing be better? Of course! Could the acting be better? Also a yes. Exactly what you'd expect from this type of film - people that are passionate about making a film and are putting their heart into it. Let them not be perfect and enjoy this film for what it is. The goal of a drama like this is to entertain the viewer and for me, it certainly succeeded in that respect.

Not sure if this is a movie. Bored story. It's should me rate 0 star.

Some pretty funny moments no doubt. It's definitely a low budget film. I like the cinematography the best.

The little girl does a pretty great job especially.

Interesting take on the poker scene. If you don't enjoy it, just make a drinking game out of everytime the lead actors looks into the camera
