Adam @Steelers33 Feb 1 Absolutely terrible movie. Very slow moving with no real point to it. I waited the entire movie for something exciting or surprising to happen. The credits were the best part! See more James D @Richjay35 Dec 16 This was the worst movie!!! The Mike should pay me the salary he got for this movie because I feel like his acting cheated me out of my time. See more Kevin S @Tinsnip2000 Sep 28 The main character, Mike, seemed like he was on the mental health spectrum, but I don't think that was the intent. Much of the plot was poorly written and the characters unrealistic, especially Mike's wife, with her "major decision for Mike" seemingly coming out of nowhere and unreasonable. The payoff at the very end was not worth the boredom and cringe of sitting through this movie. See more Derek Sep 19 I was under the impression this was a thriller See more Becks A Sep 2 Not really a thriller, more like a midlife crisis movie. Still, worth a watch! See more nick s @Nick_S Jun 9 Fichtner really lifted this movie. Some of the script was quite sharp too. Overall a quality production. However it was a real slow burner. Or maybe creeping glacier is a more accurate description. I didn't quite understand the wife's actions. Also it didn't feel like there was enough story to fill a feature... nothing much happens.
