“Somewhere in the IMDB synopsis it should let you know what this is. What it is not is a complete movie. I can only guess that itu0026#39;s a pilot for a soap opera. It doesnu0026#39;t have an ending, (stay tuned for part 2) so I guess thatu0026#39;s why I was trying so hard to figure out what the plot exactly was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith a budget of $25.000, it looks like they spent most of that money on the aerial footage. Visually it wasnu0026#39;t too bad, and in some parts, (the aerials) quite pretty. They didnu0026#39;t spend a lot on props. Sarriyahs gun was not even close, and the smoking scenes were not necessary. If youu0026#39;re going to have a smoking scene, they should look realistic, and there are products like NewRuleFX electric, or Honeyrose herbal cigarettes that are used all the time in better productions. If you canu0026#39;t afford the props, then why even bother putting smoking scenes in. Solo cups filled with water would have added the same atmosphere.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor the most part the soundtrack was fine, with the exception of.the morning scene in the kitchen with Karey, and her mother. The background noise was impossible not to hear. The poker scene began with a volume that crackled my headphones.until the dialogue started.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting was okay. There was only one scene where an actor slipped, and looked at the camera for a split second.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really donu0026#39;t know what I was watching, because nothing was ever resolved. Was it a Christian cult movie with a troubles of gambling theme?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is listed as a drama/mystery. The only mystery here was the plot.”
