Saw this on Prime and decided to give it a shot - glad I did.

I was expecting it to be a modern slasher/thriller, but it plays more as a modern noir. The character development is very good with each having their own distinct personality and you can't quite figure it out. They leave you with different emotions as their motivations and true colors come out.

The most enjoyable part of the film was as it intensifies it throws in humor, which is a nice overlay.

Acting was particularly good and the dialogue, score and violence give it a Tarantino like feel, but a bit more dialed down.

Overall 8/10.

Entertaining and fun. Worth a watch.

You are expecting trouble and violence as the tagline suggests but you start off not really sure where its going to come from. Takes some character development and backstory which leads to a character driven plot. Nice film.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but immediately was intrigued after the quirky start and the "rewind" of the Sheriff.

The movie has some great dialogue. Dialogue that isn't incredibly exciting for a movie, but dialogue that sounds like real conversation. Within the dialogue are quirks and jokes as well which are nice.

Once the action starts, it starts, and maintains its style.. The story isn't mind blowing by any means - its quite simple, but I think thats the point. Its about the people and the way it plays out that makes it fun.

Yes its a basic story but the acting contrary to the other reviewers was pretty good especially from JR Bourne who I immediately remember played Martuf in Stargate Atlantis and the female lead was also very competent (Kinda reminded me a bit of Ripley) and probably the strongest character in the whole story.

Yes it will pass a night, its not Citizen Kane nor does it pretend to be. Competent and worth a watch compared to some of the drivel I have seen lately.

I loved this movie. It's a fun and unpredictable suspense filled thriller with great performances from a talented cast. The directing and writing are top notch.

Highly recommend!
