One Guy's Opinion

[A] threadbare excuse for a thriller... it’s not a good idea to put the word “bad” in your title when it’s so perfectly descriptive of your movie.

Rated: D-

Sort of shocked at the bad reviews. I’ve seen so much worse. I wouldn’t classify it as horror but definitely a good sci-fi thriller with some good suspense. A solid date-night chill movie.

If I didn’t have to pick a star, I wouldn’t. I knew this would be bad from the beginning when friends start shooting each other. Absolutely HORRIBLE!!

this has got to be the worst stinking movie I've ever seen. 7 bucks is robbery but losing an hour and a half to watch it is worse.

This movie is ridiculously bad. It gets progressively worse as the movie goes on.

I like smart movies. Sadly, this was not one of those. It seems like it's trying so hard the be one of the great crime Indie movies from the 90's… Usual Suspects, A Simple Plan, etc. It fails miserably. A poorly written script with long rambling dialogue that no one in real life would dare utter for fear of ridicule. The characters are not likable and make stupid decisions as soon as they hit the screen. I've seen student films that far exceed this train wreck. I would advise skipping this one. Reservoir Dogs it ain't.

This movie will have you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next. Geo Santini has become the future for suspense, comedies, and thriller movies. Not only for directing, but acting as well. I'm just a fan of movies and I like this movie due to the fact that it was not predictable like some movies out lately. It left you wondering what direction the end result was going to be. For that it was a great ending twist and a good movie in my book! To me, the best description of the movie, its like the "Deer Hunter" meets "True Blood." 👍
