Stoner J @Stoner May 29 Furman knocks it out of the park in his first crime drama feature! Great low budget thriller! I only wish there was a bit more of a look at the investigation side from the authorities so we see how, or even if he is truly free. Good movie See more 03/11/2016 Good story, well acted with a real time camera feel to it. See more 04/25/2015 Amazing performances by all involved. See more 11/04/2014 Leguizamo is quite good in this rather confusing movie -- in parts the plot is slow, and then it moves way too quickly to make sense. See more 10/24/2013 I dreaded watching this the only good part was the end See more 10/19/2013 Moderately passable. See more Read all reviews
