This is a good film about a bunch of flawed characters where someone ends up dying. We are left to decide who's to blame for the incident and whether or not that person could have stopped the death from occurring. The actors are all great and give fine performances and though it's a lower budget film, the productions values are good. Saw this on Tubi and wasn't going to watch it but decided I'd give it ten minutes to hook me. The movie ended up having me hooked right up until the end. Jason Biggs was great. I didn't find this movie to be woke at all. The film is about guilt and forgiveness, not wokeness.

Well acted and good story line. Thought provoking. Characters are believable. Interaction is intense. Film shows how our actions may produce unexpected and unwanted tragic results. Sometimes we don't know our small actions may be momentous for others. A depicted in this film, most Americans will never experience the hopeless and dead-end existence, that many people are forced to endure, through no fault of their own. For some of us the film may create a better understanding or perhaps motivate others to do something. Although I suspect most of us will shrug our shoulders and do nothing. This film is Not for people or nitpickers who like car chases and zombies.

I found this movie compelling. It was a mix of racism, greed, selfishness, and a lot of what is wrong with society in the US today. There really is a lot going on in this movie. Of course it won't be for everyone. It's definitely not for non thinkers who are more likely to appreciate the Marvel Comics movies. Some really good performances here all around. 7/10.

Jason Biggs, who has made a career out of playing self-absorbed, extremely misogynistic characters, hits his sweet spot here in playing a self-absorbed, extremely misogynistic character. I think the point of the film is to feel bad for him as he almost experiences some emotions and surprise at the fall-out from his entitlement, in an "it's hard out here for a pimp" kind of way. He vacillates between bafflement and hurt-puppy-pouting (punctuated with begging "Just LISTEN to me, ok?") in his quest to be told that either his actions should not engender guilt, or they were so justified by his personal needs that there should be no consequences. And hey, he maybe learned something (about himself, of course), and he had an honest-to-god echo of a FEELING about it. That's a character arc, right? There are some people who will really identify with this character, and who will be offended that others don't. Because to them, he is not only normal, he is the standard for American Values, and hey, he's a guy. And it's hard out here for a guy. I'm not one of them. Here. Have a tissue.

The rating for the film is criminal. I almost didn't watch it because of the low rating, and we would have missed an excellent production. This isn't 'woke', it's not addressing the 'liberal agenda', it's not anti anything. What it is is a very interesting film with a unique plot and fantastic performances. By far the best film I've likely ever seen with a below 5 rating on IMDB. Highly recommended.

Compelling characters and a wild situation that opens up Pandora's box. A meaty watch, smart and ENTERTAINING. Solid acting, looks great -- I'm glad I checked it out.

This movie was honest and nuanced and heartbreaking in all the right ways. The performances were extraordinary. My family and I talked about this film and the issues it addresses for days afterwards.

Sharp writing and focused acting make for a compelling film that is both of our time and timeless. Thought-provoking in the best ways- and with substance that is intentional and not didactic. This film provides great topics for ongoing and necessary discussions.

This film is smart and hard to watch in all the right ways. Writer Chisa Hutchinson does what she does best: asks us to look at the ugly side of ourselves we would rather not face while also somehow finding unexpected moments of beauty. The actors execute the thought-provoking script to perfection. It's not an easy watch, but it's gripping and important and well worth your time.
