“A boy goes missing in a rural town and the case becomes an obsession for a man who believes there is more to the case than what it appears to be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ll give a few more details. Our main character comes off as a decent enough guy but he has some sort of mental disability. He lives with his mother but has a daughter that lives with her mother. While visiting his kid, he learns she is on social media and while scrolling through her news feed, he learns that the boy is missing. The man works in sanitation and knows the boy from his garbage pick-up route because the kid made it a point to always wave when he saw him. While it never really gave a good explanation as to why he was so interested in the case, he becomes obsessed and determined to figure out what happened to the kid.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main character played his part well, easily drawing the viewer into his characteru0026#39;s emotions. The majority of the movie is carried by this character so kudos to the actor for his performance. The atmosphere in this is gloomy and the settings felt appropriate.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile I felt it couldu0026#39;ve used some more detail here and there, I thought it was a u0026quot;mehu0026quot; flick. Not amazing and not awful. If you choose to sit down and watch it just be prepared for the slow burn.”
