Lacking in Dialogue, Energy and everything else that is supposed to make a movie great! Two friends had fallen asleep while watching this and I give up watching after 40 minutes,... I came away feeling like I'd been the Victim of a torture chamber experiment!

So they left the diner with the bodies while it was still night and arrived at Ganga at day time when everyone is already up and running. Which would mean the distance between the diner and the place they arrived plus the nature reserve the couple was headding to was at least, I assume, 100-200 miles. And it was patrolled by the same sheriff? Besides that, this movie is too long, too slow and too boring. No time for such nonsense! And one more thing, Susan was too lucky for my liking. Nah, I wouldn't recommend this movie.

So this what I think of this movie. 9 because as a dog lover I do not now what happened to the dog in the end. I really enjoyed this movie. Great acting, the bad ones got what they deserved. Especially the deputy. Humor, great dialogues, a little bit of action mmmh the pace was ok. So I do not understand the bad reviews. I really do not. So get over it. I am happy and I Watched a lot of bad movies but this is not one of them. So well done director.

Hate the drag-on slow pace. A thriller should avoid such slow-burn tempo. The totally unnecessary narration is another letdown, couldn't quite understand why the screenplay or the director needed to insert such unwanted blah, blah, and blah. Camera work is fine but too traditionally cliched and formulaic way of shooting, such as shot the person stepping out of the car, the shoes touching the ground, driver-side car door closed, then the camera following pair of shoes walking forward, the camera following them, then gradually raise up from legs, thighs, to upper body, but still only showing the back of the person...That, really sucks big time, man. Then, there's a scene showing the sheriff and the female deputy sat on the rear of the police truck eating (lunch or supper?) in broad daylight. Then again, same eating scene, but it's totally dark. How long a meal could be last so long and so slow for just couple of sandwiches? Are the eating scenes that dragged so long for the purpose of building up the tension or just for the purpose to make the movie itself longer? So many unnecessary scenes could be smartly cut off and edited, but no, those scenes just have to stay to fill up the empty on-going. Man, why we have to watch a throw-back deadbeat thriller like this? An eatery in the middle of nowhere still opening for business at late night? It even equipped CCTV? One old woman running the diner? Also, the killing spree is just kinda clueless and totally exaggerated, just to serve the hollow screenplay.

That is my recommendation to Hollywood. If you try it, I think you will find it is win win. As for the film, the cinematographer was in love with the locale, every shot is perfectly framed. Perlman could not give a bad performance even if he wanted to. Larter, in her 40s, still connects with the audience. The dog is well played. Basically the kind of film where you spend more time thinking about how to improve it than actually enjoying it.

So this review is a little personal since I am a filmmaker, a producer/director and I met the director on the app called CLUBHOUSE. I have gotten to know Naveen since then and I have learned a lot about his journey. First of all, this is not a studio movie and it was equity financed by individual investors. First time director Naveen not only directed this, but also put the financing together, and produced it. Let me just tell you how hard that is to do, as a first time director. It's almost impossible to get named stars Like Ron Perlman, Ali Larter, and Ralph Ineson to act in your movie, let alone find millions to finance a first time director. Naveen did that. If you know anything about producing independent films, you know I am right. Here is the kicker, Naveen distributed this movie as well!! That gets my respect and his effort earns a 10 from me. Now let's talk about the film. The movie is beautifully shot, casted, and the locations are amazing. Ali Larter does a very good job in her comeback film, and she needs to be in front of the camera more. Great to have you back Ali! Ron Perlman, well, what can be said about this man that hasn't been said. The man has a presence like no other, and steals any scene that he is in. The man is a legend. For me, the surprise element was Ralph Ineson as the Villain. Bravo Naveen, so well casted, and you have done an amazing job of shooting him. He reminded me of Javier Bardem from No Country for Old Men. I don't know how you pulled this off Naveen, but you get a 10 for a first time director casting. Wow! Now let's talk about some of the things that did not work for me. The movie should be 25 minutes or so shorter. The pacing is very slow. I get what Naveen was trying to achieve, but the editor and director both missed the mark on this. This is a very common first time director problem by the way, and I know he is going to do things different. For me, the script is everything, and this script does not work for me. This is where the movie falters for me, and some of the dialogues are ineffective. I also felt like Ron's character was extremely under utilized, and I would have had a show down scene between Ron and Ralph! Like the scene from HEAT, Dinero and Pachino faceoff. So the movie gets a 6 from me. My over all rating is 8.666. 10 for producing, raising financing and distributing, as a first time director. 10 for casting, and I am still in disbelief how he pulled that off. The film gets a 6. So the average is 8.66 and I will round it up to 9 because I am so impressed with what Naveen has pulled off. I can't wait to see his next film. I know he is only going to get better.

It wasn't a movie you had to watch, but it wasn't bad at all. However, it's a bit boring. Action was a bit slow. But good movie to watch Friday night. Good job!

The premise was good, how it was executed was a bloody (no pun intended) mess. The voice overdid not help the story, it seemed like a 1940s-50's detective show gone wrong. On a bright note, Ali Larter looked great and was the only actor who was actually trying. The cinematography was well done, the writing lazy. It helped us fall asleep though.

This film had the potential to be great. Too bad that wasn't the case. It starts out ok but goes downhill pretty fast. About 30 minutes in I had lost total interest. Basic 5 star film.

Ron Perlman does some great movies and he does some terrible movies. This is a terrible movie. Bad script, bad acting, bad accents.... Basically the best thing about it is Ron Perlman and he's so wooden in this that I'm surprised a bird didn't land on him to make a nest.
