This is a very promising movie in the first half but the question is, which direction the script will go in the second half. And there comes a big surprise twist, but the twist is just the usual "he is there but in reality he is not there"-cliche - how disappointing. And it all goes downhill from there: the girl who simply leaves her job and life just because she met a homeless man who told her some nice things about living in the desert without electricity, now this has simply no credibility. Also the ending is just stupid, it's the old idiotic crime movie cliche of "I see you in the newspaper and I call the cops" - very-very weak for an ending, especially when the movie started with great realism of the ruined life of the main hero. Overall a great disappointment, because of the first half I would rate this 5/10 but it is way overrated here (great European movies have a rating of 6.6 - 6.8 and this one 7.0, which is laughable), so it is 3/10.
