Saw this at the Burbank International Film Festival. Not surprised that it won for fan favorite. Just saw that it's now up for streaming with my Amazon prime account – was definitely worth a second watch!

An interesting take on how trauma is the perfect cauldron for predators to use. Alex is the perfect victim for a monster who stops at nothing until he meets his agenda. Yes, there’s a reason for why he does what he does. You will be shocked.

Rated: 3.2/5

Midwest Film Journal

Strong character set-up and performances are let down by a third act that doesn't stick the landing.

The sharp and violent road the film veers onto wasn't necessary, but the two lead actors make the journey worth taking.
