I liked it

It didn't have huge explosions, or a bald muscular dude riding a speeding boat full of nerve gas heading for NYC, but it did have plot and a good performance by Patrick Stewart. I think a lot of people have the "Blockbuster" syndrome, where they think a movie has to be a CGI/Action extravaganza or its not worth watching. Some low budget movies are real gems, and some blockbusters are not worth lining your cat box with. This one's a gem.

Having just saw it on ION, I agree it's good... but it's more of a thriller/mystery than just a drama.

Acceptance has to come naturally and so it will. Later.

I thought it was a thriller/mystery/COMEDY myself. It was good but pretty predictable.

I liked it too. It is one of those movies where you don't think it's going to be good but it turns out to be actually good. Not award winning good but good enough to be in a movie collection.

The cover looks generic, and it was filmed very amateur-like.

I was surprised that it was actually very good.
