mediocre movie

Mediocre movie... The directing was poor as was the editing... The pace seemed off, everything seemed like it was copied from some other movie, but done in a more pedestrian way... Also, it looked like it was shot for TV/ipad...

They should have had the conviction to make the movie their own, rather than to just copy every cliche, but woth added old people jokes that land flat... Had a made by committee feel...

I'm only writing this post because it seems like it could have been a fairly entertaining movie and the acting and premise is good.

Agree with you, wasn't so good. I found the main character (the young guy) generally unlikable also. Usually movies like this have us connected to the main character in some way, but not this time.

The ex-cop character also changed his tune too easily at the end when the tables were turned, felt out of place compared to the rest of the movie.
