1/10
Waste of time

Warning: Spoilers
This movie for all the effort put into making it couldn't have been more wasteful. It draws you in no doubt, but only to leave you with confusion and disappointment. Effectively it takes 1 hour for the first notable event to take place to even attempt take this down a thrilling path. This is a random body being found, who is it? You never find out, hoe did they die? You never find that out. For that whole hour beforehand it's pointless talking, back-story that has no relevance or just is open ended in the plot.

There is to tension in this time frame, its just a guy on vacation talking to people. Finally when something happens a atrocious attempt at acting by the cops follows that also gas no relevance in the story as they are never seen again after implying the main character might be getting framed. Finishing up the movie is a anticlimactic ended that was so abrupt and lackluster that wanted to be a cliffhanger edge of your seat moment.

Out of 87 minutes only 10 has any noteworthy events, the rest is just casual conversation with no purpose but to fill the clock. About 3-4 minutes minutes is spent on the finding of the body and the cops scene, 4 minutes spent with the evil guy revealing his story and killing the main character. 2-3 minutes with the ending scene leaving you going "what, that's it? That's what all of this was for?" after the other 77 minutes of the main character talking to his father, locals, old friends, or the random guy who turns out to be the killer.

There's no way anyone would give it a even decent review unless promoting it, regardless of the actually movie quality. I watch movies and TV shows constantly as I have alot of free time. I was so disappointed with this movie I actually made a account just to review it so others wouldn't waste their time. That being said this is definitely one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
