Not much sympathy for any character


You have a kid that steals money from bad people, another friend with feelings for the former's girl; said girl cheats on one friend with the other friend. Mix that in with more lying and betrayal and you have a concoction that spells apathy.

It was an entertaining movie don't get me wrong, but their actions throughout the film made me not care about their fates one way or another.

Agreed,

Also the ending was a let down and confusing. What was BJs plan? He had to trigger the monitors so he didn't kill those two others and steal money, gif did?

Thought the ending could have played out right. Was William Devane paid 20 grand for a minute of screen time?

Yes the ending i agree was a let down and i didnt feel sorry for the teen that stole the money or the other one that basically confessed to stealing the money when he didnt....the girl maybe i kinda felt sorry for but she realised cheated on her bf with his best friend.

We just finished watching this on iTunes, thought the preview looked good and we usually enjoy the "no name" actor movies. We've seen many that are great movies and have top notch actors, sadly not so with this one!
I found the acting very weak and while the premise may have been good, it just totally lacked any real depth.
We found ourselves bursting out in laughter at scenes that, we think, we're not meant to be funny, lol!
All in all, a waste of $7.99 and 90 minutes.

How did you not have sympathy for Bobby? The guy jumped on the grenade and took the blame for stealing the money when BJ wasn't going to own up to it, all just to save an innocent man from getting beaten to death. He may have been screwing his best friend's girl, but that selfless act of sacrifice at the beginning of the film makes him a sympathetic character. Screwing his buddy's girl just makes him an anti-hero.
