Appalling

This film isn't good in the slightest. First, the editing is the film is mediocre at best, and makes the movie feel more like a project than an actual film. Second, the story is pretty dumb and pointless considering it does NOT go on a good flow whatsoever. It's a choppy story that goes all over the place and leaves you to wonder "What am I even watching?" Third, the script in this film is okay. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it still feels like it could've been thought about more. I will be honest and say that the acting in this film is actually pretty great, and came off as believable. But good acting isn't going to save this film from its mediocre editing, brainless story, and so-so script. I can't really recommend this film to anyone, as there are much better films than this. This film isn't awful, necessarily, but it sure is appalling.
