Kylo M Apr 19, 2019 A B movie with a little too many banalities. (Mauro Lanari)
Dec 13, 2018 Everyone seemed to be critical of this movie. I chose to give it two stars, based on my own preferences and opinion. Ray Looks, has always been a favorite actor of mine, enjoy most of his films. Raymond J. Barry , also plays Liolta's father in the movie, another actor I came to like from his roll as Arlo Givens on FX's Justified. The movie like most of its type was a bit predictable a times. However the ending was one that left me somewhat upset and definitely surprised. I also read on another review stating that the film was shot in I believe Spokane. The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful parts of the country in my opinion. All in all a decent movie worth watching at least once, second time doubt would be the same knowing how it ends.

Leia W Jul 30, 2017 This is so hilariously bad. Really bad editing, but I'd say the bulk of it was in the first act, so if you can make it through the pretty consistently frequent bad cuts in the beginning, it will be better and easier to make it through the rest. Some pretty bad performances, mostly all around, except Ray Liotta was doing his best, and trying really hard, to make this time better for people.! Christian Slater wasn't in there much, but when he was, he did fine as well. It's pretty much all bad, except sometimes I liked the tone and color palette, and a little bit of the cinematography, as well as the score. But the end was actually pretty good, at least for me, and helped me understand more, and be more okay with, the rating of three I gave it (that I gave this movie.) I would definitely not recommend this, unless you're looking for a "so bad it's funny movie!" I will say that I was not expecting the ending, including it being kinda good actually, and I was not expecting there to be a twist. I guess I should have been though, because a lot of really bad movies have really bad, or sometimes even more awful and worse, twists. Mostly at the end, but maybe sometimes during or not at the end too! The only reason I made it through this, and why I didn't stop watching early on, was because of wanting to see Christian Slater, and then I was laughing so much, and that laughing was pretty consistent as well!
