“This film seemed pretty promising. Unfortunately, the script had too much unnecessary dialogue for the story being told, which drags it into a near 100 minute runtime. This probably wouldu0026#39;ve been better around 70-80 minutes. But the editing from scene to scene was nicely done, allowing for the imagination to work a little.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGreene is the standout from beginning to end, doing a fantastic job connecting with her character. Lee-King does a satisfactory job, especially in one tense scene where there is more facial expressions than dialogue. But for the most part his delivery doesnu0026#39;t convince throughout. There are some other supporting roles that are okay, but no one else stands out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt being shot at one of my favorite restaurants is why I wanted to see it. This film is better than most films made in San Diego, and thatu0026#39;s in part because there is a clear budget which adds production value to it. A shorter runtime and perhaps better casting wouldu0026#39;ve done this film wonders.”
