    It's a good movie

    The message is everything in this movie. For those who see beyond ...

    not good.

    Is there a reason the only positive reviews are done by new accounts and only have 1 review? yes because the movie is not good. Bad acting and music. The story line is the only reason I give this a 3.2

    A some what good indie film using a light budget conveys a heavy message

    This film may have a few too many moments of monotony or unimaginative scenarios as it unfolds following the lead character Charlie, But it's pretty obvious that was the intention giving you scenes reminiscent of an episode of the twilight zone.

    A shy young army veteran who is now working as a waiter becomes overly obsessed with a prostitute, But when he meets a bar tender who offers him a once in a lifetime chance to change his luck, Charlie implements a plan that may have grave consequences.

    The acting isn't spectacular but it's satisfying for the mildly dark mood of this film. It doesn't drag on too much although at times felt a little tedious and it could of been more character development but all in all the message at the end of the film which is simply stated carrys a lot of weight and makes this film worth watching.

    I give it a 6 which means Ok and worth a watch. The amount of relevant characters in this film you can count on one hand but that doesn't impede on the entertainment value And that's an accomplishment in itself.

    Yawn.

    Not sure the point. The lesson? If there isn't one why bother making this bad movie? Pointless plot.

    I was expecting a thriller

    What I got was a drama and an uninteresting one at that. I kept waiting for something to happen. If a slow-paced drama with a let-down ending is what you're in the mood for, then this is your movie.
