Recently divorced Thad Sitter (Clayne Crawford) works part-time at a weight loss clinic in southwest Missouri, but the real money comes from moonlighting as a go-between for his boss, weight loss guru Gayle Benson (Heather Roop), and her illegal diet pill suppliers. It's all working out until the suppliers raise their rates, and Gayle murders them, forcing Thad to dispose of the evidence. Meanwhile, Thad's ex-wife, Julie (M.J. Brackin), is fresh off a messy breakup with Sheriff Crane (Robert Leeshock) after realizing she's still in love with Thad. When the jealous Sheriff gets wind of the murders, he decides to implicate Thad in an attempt to have Julie all to himself. Now a threat to exposing Gayle's operation, Thad has no choice but to go into hiding as he is pursued by his former boss and the law.

Watching this film, I couldn't help but feel that it seems to reflect the idea of America that the outside world has - everyone in the USA quite willing and happy to shoot each other without fear or even thought of consequences.

So perhaps that view of Americans is fairly true then. Which is very worrying to the rest of us.

The acting went from average to dismal. The characters were bog standard. The plot was silly. The dialogue was silly. The music wasn't bad, but not something I would voluntarily give up 90 minutes of my life for.

I want that time back.

Looks like all the friends and family members rated this movie 10 out of 1. The story is extremely dumb, chaotic the best. Not sure the director,writer or the actor/actresses are worse. I gave 1 star because there was no 0 or minus numbers.

godlike

A good, interesting and classic neo-noir thriller. Clayne Crawford was really good. Not for everyone, of course. If your favourite movie is the last Transformers (or something like that), please skip it.

Dishadel

If you're tired of blockbuster superhero nonsense, this is a good story. It moves along nicely, and the cinematography is very good. I don't get the negative comments because it held my attention.

Domarivip

Really slow, unlikely drama, limited acting, silly plot...avoid.

Zamo

I thought this was a pleasant movie to watch. I enjoyed the scenery and the music. The plot line was good. I thought Clayne Crawford did a good job.

Nuliax

I actually enjoyed Clayne Crawford's acting in this film more than when he was on TV. The mood reminded me of Winter's Bone and Ozark. Good stuff.

Malhala

I loved this film. The characters are interesting and it was fun to see Clayne Crawford before Lethal Weapon.

NiceOne

This was a nice coherent and well-paced film. In the noir style, it even has an old-fashioned private eye.

Buge

I thought this was a good solid movie. It was nice to see a movie without all the trash that is so common in movies today.

Shakataxe

Not just this movie but most ratings seems to be straight up lie.

Blackseeker

I've never written a review here before but I felt compelled to do my part to make sure nobody has to waste 90 minutes of their life like I did. Writing was brutal and I've never seen worse acting than M.J. Brackin's...ever.

Kit

Nothing thriller in this film. Murders are like having snacks and nothing series at all. Clayne Crawford's acting is great when he shot by his ex-wife. That is the only scene I admire in this film.

Zehaffy

ONE OF THE MOST RIDICULOUS MOVIES EVER. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I'M A CLAYNE CRAWFORD FAN! WISH HE WOULD PICK BETTER ROLES! MAYBE RIGGS SI JUSTHIS CHARACTER.

MisTereO

I regret wasting my time watching this movie, dull, boring. The ending was the most annoying thing. Please don't watch, i repeat, do not watch

Tam

Lot of loose ends at the finish, and the whole ot was pointless. The acting even worse.

Heri

You will never find out. Nor will you find a satisfactory closure to the chain of events that seem to spin out of control with no rhyme or reason. I was throughly disappointed. Yes, it held my attention because I was waiting for a spectacular ending that pulled the plot together but that didn't happen. I can appreciate the idea behind the film however it failed to materialize in the final cut.

Saimath

I made an IMDB account just to rate this movie. It was one of the worst films I have ever seen. The other reviews must have been friends and family or paid for. The acting was cliched and poorly executed, not that they had much to work with from the script. The whole plot was awful and made no sense. None of the characters reacted to events in any remotely plausible way. The ending left much to be desired.

I could go on, but please save your time and sanity and skip this one.

Nikobar

Everything was terrible... The acting, writing, story, etc... Don't waste your time with this. I don't write reviews often, but I felt I needed to warn others about how bad this movie is.

Cae

Trully....such a waste of time.... and so predictable...

Alsardin

Bad acting, bad plot. So many holes in the story. Characters were badly introduced. I can keep going on, but just watch something else. For your own sake.

Kalrajas

Might want to watch if you like a good movie! Great plot and intense acting.

Silly Dog

Movie was decent but had too many loose ends at the end. I like closure.

Zut

Enjoyed this movie. Loved the writing and the acting. Highly recommended

Painbrand
