 They did well given what they were working with November 27, 2008
Lemas Mitchell (Kunming, Yunnan China)
The characters in this movie are people that you can actually imagine meeting: Real, working class people trying to make it through life subject to many constraints.
The acing was good throughout and with all characters.
One big problem was imagining that a psychiatrist could be coopted for a very small amount of insurance money ($50,000) to try to violate his ethics and prompt a patient to kill himself. The whole movie was not premised on this, and so the whole plot did not shatter when we found out that the psychiatrist was the "other person." It did, however, severely weaken the believability of the whole movie.

I found this movie to be quite depressing because it is very realistic. It seems to be marketed as a sort of thriller, but I think it is much more a psychological story. Much of the movie is taken up with J.J.'s psychological counseling and his psychologist. This certainly is not a feel-good movie. Simply put, it shows how important a positive support system is for a juvenile who comes out of drug rehabilitation or some juvenile criminal institution. This movie would probably be best shown to families of kids finishing their time in the institution so it can be discussed. Hopefully, it would help some families (at least a few) avoid placing undo pressures on their child that will result in his or her self-destructive thinking. This movie shows how the relatives and friends created situations that put 'JJ' back on the path to more time in a juvenile institution, and, as he gets older, will result surely in prison.

This movie is not horrible but its boring and doesn't really make sense. It tries to be a dark comedy but its not really funny. Its a stupid drama that will put you to sleep. Try Heathers, To Die For, something more fun.
 A remarkable low budget film! December 15, 2004

This is not a typical horror film--great performances and truly creepy! Run, don't walk to rent/buy it!
