I enjoyed this movie. It is a thriller that made me wondering the entire time until the end. I thought the plot was very mysterious and engaging. However I thought the ending felt a little bit rushed. The story developed well all the way till the end when it is time to reveal all the secrets to the viewers. I was expecting more explanations, since there were many unanswered questions. I thought if the movie would spent a little bit more time at the end to explain the plot in details would give the viewer a more clear picture. The picture had a dark theme which fits the plot pretty well. The performance of Charlie Hfheimer as Raymond was terrific, the other main character Burt Bulos as Paul also did well. I felt there should be more scenes of Paul since he is the main valiant of the movie. More character development of Paul is needed to really capture the viewer at the end when secrets reveal. Sarah played by Katharine Towne was also superb, good emotional performance throughout. They also did a good job on the computer graphics, nothing fancy but it gets the message across… Very nice sound tracks throughout the scenes. I liked the ending credit sound track.
