    Terrible Acting

    First time after thousands of films, feeling the need to comment here. This film can simply be teaching material, how acting should not be like... Main character, Noah and especially his partner, Alison and then that detective... Hard to believe they're really casted by a professional, too bad!

    So bad....all you can do is laugh.

    I very rarely write reviews, but this was such a waste of time I'm hoping to spare others from wasting theirs. The acting was so bad that it was distracting. Terrible from all involved. Awful script, horrible camera work. Comes across as a really bad Lifetime type movie.

    Best Movie Ever

    I am a movie lover. I watch movies every day and night. My husband and I should be movie critics I know everybody's taste is different but we know a good movie when we see one and especially if the film maker is good etc. We started making jokes saying well this is not a cheap made movie they can afford a helicopter and the trees look real. No lie. We are horror movie addicts but decided tonight we would watch something else.

    Let me just add that when these people rank this movies any of them from horror to comedy in the best movies, top movies etc it is a joke so must of the time watch for yourself.

    This movie was the best. Good storyline so many emotions. This is the first movie I have came on and actually sat down to write this much or give a movie so much good credit. From start to finish amazing. Now one well mainly is at the top of my list as best film ever made in a very long time. You get such a real look at life, what tragedy does, what good life is and a bittersweet end. This is a must watch movie and if you are a movie lover like we are you won't regret it. I give this movie 10 out of 10 starts. Definitely a must see.

    'Neat Little Bow'... and not Crime/Thriller

    Look hey is it the worst movie I've seen.. not by any stretch. There was some potential there but, to me, they wasted it.

    The acting does in fact leave something to be desired and while I enjoy subtlety in a movie this one does not really give you quite enough to know what really is/did happen... Really some guesswork without any answers that actually make sense. Sure you want to do a piece about human unpredictability fine but to me this is the writers being unpredictable not the story.

    In some ways I do get that people liked it and you may as well, but from my perspective it was quite drawn out and mostly focused on family dynamics and sort of tried, unsuccessfully, to tie it into a 'neat little bow'.. that's not so neat.

    I watched this on Prime

    For free with sub on the thing which is very nice! I watched this on 2023 a few years after it came out but that's no matter for art can live on forever! And that is what this thing is a well-thought nice canard that does its job and does it well! Very nice! I went through all the reviews on here and one in particular stands out because it brought up a scene which the viewer disliked. The one when the cop makes a house visit and breaks everyone something proper like. I was like this is my fav scene. They said it wasn't warranted and that there would be repurcussions. But I think it was warranted for it was explained very well and what reprucurssions if no one finds out. I thought it was warranted because the cop explained himself and we also understand his connection to the victims. But ultimately this thing worked and it worked well! I loved the writing best of all! I think the main actor did a heck of a job penning this thing he should be very proud of the breadth and trying to do something instead of just following some formula which this is most definitely not thank-god cause that's boring owing to that formula being so stale. But the best part was the ending and how he left the thing a beautiful silent mediation on the actions and what all it does. It was just a great great job all around! I've got another one of his flics on queue for free on youtube which is always very nice and I'm about ready to watch it, thanks for the effort and trying to do something with this medium, cool job!
