I Just Saw This


First of all, I had nothing to do with this movie, and I didn't even think it sounded interesting, but about five minutes in was all it took to keep me interested. This movie was well written, and the acting was good.

I'm not sure why Jason Mamoa took such a bit role. Maybe he did the movie as a favor to a friend, but his part in the film is small, but you come to understand his character and his purpose later on.

The two brothers' roles were well-written and well acted by Shane Coffey (Liam) and Drew Roy (Miles), and there's a twist as to why the hoax takes place that isn't even known to Liam until later.

There is a gross twist towards the end between Liam and Lauren which I won't give away, but...yeah, it was gross. lol

Cary Elwes and Haley Webb were very good in their roles as police chief and his daughter.

There was a really stupid part in the movie, however. When Angie (Anna Hutchison) and Liam are in the car. She confesses that she liked him, and he says it back to her. Then, as if in a comedy, she says "Really?" and jumps on him and starts stripping (no nudity) until they're interrupted by the police. For such a serious drama, it was very out of place.

I gave it a 6 out of 10 for the good writing, acting, directing, and suspense. And I really like movies with a twist.

Just saw it too.
Gave it a 6 as well, but could be a 7 if they didn't make the stupid ending...

Not sure why the twist is gross regarding Liam, but not his brother, if you know what I mean. That's still kind of gross, too.
