This is one of biggest steaming piles of garbage you will ever witness. Some decent cinematography and half decent acting on the part of Kaitlyn Dever and the supporting cast. Sadly the main characters develop no personalities of any interest or value. In short, an idiot gets released from prison with the help of one of his older lady teachers and returns home to ride his bike around town. He's very indecisive and annoying, and spends all his time apologizing for stupid stuff. The characters blunder from one ridiculous act to the next stupid and unrealistic event. Add in the most annoying soundtrack that doesn't relate to the "action" on the screen in any way and it's a real effort to get through this stinker. I went from minute to minute towards the end. It's so bad I found myself laughing at what I'm sure were supposed to be the most dramatic and impactful moments. A complete flop, with such predictable turns and cringing dialogue you will want to strangle everyone associated with getting this thing made in the first place. It had a strong premise, and in more capable hands could have been a powerful movie.
