Kept me entertained- Really enjoyed this movie


*** CONTAINS POTENTIAL SPOILERS. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE!! ***

I came here really because I couldn't figure out how or if I could write a user review for it. Here is my review of it.

The one fault of this movie I do believe, is it was a tad bit too long, but on the flip side I see what the directive for the length was. Ben's character serves as a relevant plot point and serves as an anchor for the climax of the story. Ben makes John and his past relevant, as well as serves as an anchor to keep the "Danny VS John" plot going. I think SOME people who reviewed this fail to realize that there were actually 2 plots moving along at the same time, which end up weaving together as one at the end. So you get the thrill of murder, the desolate farm town, city life & technology, a bit of romance, and even a bit of comedy. The film carefully weaves this all together to appeal to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. It engrosses you in the characters, and relies on their acting to reel you into the emotions they go through. We are given a John that we believe through what we are given, doesn't want to be a murderer. In the end we are given a John who is willing to do anything to protect someone he loves. Who got tense when Ben stood in front of the door as Danny reached for the pistol? Who enjoyed the tense back-and-forth dialog exchanged between John and Danny? Who was happy that Ben was able to nab the gorgeous girl? (It's presented to you that both obviously are in love.) Any guy who has ever mutually been REALLY into a girl but for whatever reason(s) under the sun it never fully works out, and you both KNOW that it SHOULD work out, but you ignore your emotions and let it fall through.. The weak emotional part of me was happy for Ben & his girl for both getting what they should've. The ending leaves you to your own imagination to close the movie out, but in a sense I think you get the idea that things will never move towards John getting caught, nor does it give you the intention he will stop killing or have the need to do it again. You decide, who knows, maybe there will be a follow up?!

Lol you say not sure where to write a review because that's what you want to do...and then you don't even review the film. You talk about things that happen as if people have seen the movie. This makes no sense!
