Reaction: HG Hansen's directorial debut narrowly missed out on breaking even due to very poor foreign box office sales. This can probably be chalked up to a lack of actors recognizable to those audiences.


"For how basic the actual plot of the film is, it comes across as convoluted and overly detailed. There are several scenes that do nothing to move the plot of the film forward." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times

"I think this project would probably have worked better on the small screen as there is way too much set-up for little pay-off there ends up being. On television the story would have more room to breath that just isn't possible in a lone film." - Jason Helm, New York Observer

"The film struggles with maintaining momentum, but it is anchored by an interesting performance from Charlie Heaton in the lead role." - Paul Landon, Film School Rejects

Rated R for language, violence and some sexuality.
