Overall impressions and questions...
This movie struck me as just ok.
Stories about con men are always chilling and worth being cautioned about.
It's not very well made, or conceived, but the director/writer is still young and learning how to make movies.
I think friends of the director and writer may have been sent to this board to write favorable comments. Most of them sound the same and have similar misspellings and grammatical errors.
If these auditions were real then Clarence and Martin were ad libbing almost the whole movie. And if that's so, the actor playing Martin did and said comparatively little, and the actor who played Clarence carried much of the movie by himself.
In general, the actor who played Clarence was phenomenal; Martin was kinda weak. Not just his character, but his acting.
It's illegal to film people without their knowledge. If that's what the filmmakers did, how did they get away with it?
