Pretty bad

Hats off to anyone that makes films. Unless they are really bad like this one.

Clearly budget was not huge as the actors in it are horrendous.

It's like a giant vanity project for the director/actor.

Really dire

Well, that's an hour and a half of my life I won't get back. Would have stopped it 40 minutes in but my GF wanted to see how it turned out. Mark Harris not great. Probably self funded project. To sum it up, pass on this one.

I noticed BEST LAID PLANS...great film you marked up as great which was a dire flop and with no distribution that ended up self funded. Jog on you must of written it by the sounds of it. another classic FAILED producer

Low budget doesn't always equal bad acting, but in this case you are 100% correct.

I laugh in the face of danger, then I hide until it goes away.

....it's been written time and time again in variety, imdb, amazon you name it the troll producers find nothing better to do other than slag other film producers and out horrendes comments and results to knock the sales. My opinion is listen to the majority. Not the minority.

Dude you're in denial.

This movie was predictable in plot. The producer/lead was good at stunt/fight work-- needs acting lessons desperately. There is about 10-13 min of bad montage of lead wandering around drunk(and then driving with his African-American friend-who we don't know where the heck this dude comes from- no back story).

The wife(and the "adoption mother"for that fact- both British actresses- gorgeous especially their blue eyes)stunningly beautiful but was comatose through out most of the movie. Premise was promising. I liked the Craigslist scheme- 5 years late but could have been made believable -I recommend film/acting school if Harris wants to really gets into the game. Good Luck and Cheers!!

I have no connection with the film industry what-so-ever. Just a movie lover with time.

Ha ha' the film is up over 600% this week. The lead actor I read has gone up over 270% this week alone... Well well bro you must have a serious vendetta against the guy and film....I a film fan and enjoyed it much. It's a low budget yes. But good ... Each to there own and cleary with the climb of lead and film ... Gotta of done something right.

Dreadful. I got about 1/3 of the way through and went back here to check on what people were saying becaue I had read a review that said "White Knuckle Action." That was a mistake. The only "white knuckle"s were mine waiting for some smidgen of quality. How can a script this amateurish get funded? It's creepy without being thrilling. Avoid.
