“Review contains non-specific plot details – but no obvious spoilers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eImplausible, yet predicatable storyline.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMuch of the plot is very implausible and unbelievable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor example: Police providing a relative of a murder victim with belongings of the deceased that were in posession of the deceased at the time they went missing. Really? You donu0026#39;t think that would be evidence? Especially the victimu0026#39;s phone?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother example: The murder investigation is handled by a regular uniformed traffic patrol officer, not a detective. Nobody ever visits a police station – they just pull up in their car next to where this police officer is regularly parked.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother example: Everyoneu0026#39;s home looks to be a newly finished 5 star residence – regardless of whether the character occupying the residence is reputed to be trailer trash, an unemployed aspiring surfer or a high school student living away from their parents. One scene contains a very obviously fake television. Nobody in this movie lives in a plausible residence. Even the residence of the main character is implausible considering their occupation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are many more implausible things about this movie but to go into detail on them would give away spoilers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAmateur directing, acting and dialog. Although in the actors defence – in some scenes theyu0026#39;re forced to make the best of a bad situation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor example: A character opens a glass door and then looks surprised to see whatu0026#39;s on the other side after opening it… Really?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI get the dramatic effect the director was going for but in the end a good scene should be plausible with the actors acting logically.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would not watch this movie again or recommend it to anyone I like.”
